Course Description

Overview

Explore the vertical structure of Earth's atmosphere in this 47-minute lecture from Yale University's course on The Atmosphere, the Ocean and Environmental Change. Examine how pressure, density, and temperature vary with altitude, and understand the complex interactions between solar radiation and atmospheric gases. Discover the layers of the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth's interior, and delve into systems analysis and the concept of residence time in the hydrologic cycle. Gain insights into buoyancy effects, temperature inversions, and the impact of atmospheric composition on solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.
