Course Description

Overview

Explore Earth's atmosphere in this comprehensive video series covering its composition, temperature dynamics, greenhouse effect, and climate change implications. Delve into atmospheric content, energy balance, molecular absorption spectra, and the roles of greenhouse gases like CO2 and H2O. Examine concepts such as the Stefan-Boltzmann law, blackbody radiation, heat capacity, and daily warming cycles. Investigate the jet stream, air mass movements, and the impact of increasing greenhouse gases. Analyze transmission spectra, greenhouse effect contributions, and temperature model sensitivities. Conclude with insights on Earth's temperature history and the overall implications of the greenhouse effect.
