Saturation Mixing Ratio
Water vapor in the air Liquid water can evaporate and turn into water vapor in the air. Conversely, water vapor in the air may turn back into the water. Some are very dry, with no moisture … more
Atmosphere Simulation
Equilibrium
* If the simulation does not move, please refresh the web page. Radiation Places near the stove feel warmer than far away. This is due to the direct transfer of heat from the stove without the … more
Coriolis Effect
Coriolis effect The French mathematician Coriolis first explained that the direction of fluid movement on the Earth’s surface is slightly warped. You can observe this effect in all spinning places like Earth. The Coriolis effect causes … more
Weather front and temperate cyclone
You can drag the screen to rotate it. Temperate cyclone (also known as Extra-tropical cyclone) The temperate zone is where the north’s cold air mass meets the south’s warm air mass. When two different chunks of … more
Atmosphere
Altitude-temperature data is based on ISA(International Standard Atmosphere). Values other than the data were obtained using spline interpolation. Altitude(km) Air Temperature(℃) 0 15 4 -11 8 -37 12 -56.5 20 -56.5 30 -46.5 40 -22 50 … more
The Air Pressure and Wind
If you fill the Coriolis effect 100%, the actual wind on the surface of Earth will appear. High atmospheric pressure and low atmospheric pressure The cause of wind blowing is the difference in air pressure. A … more
Sea and Land Breeze
Sea and Land Breeze Sea and Land Breeze is a wind that changes its wind direction every day in coastal areas. During the day, a sea breeze blows from the sea to the land, and at … more
Torricelli’s Experiment
* You have to wear gloves when handling mercury. Torricelli’s Experiment The first person to measure the magnitude of air pressure is Italian scientist Torricelli. He was filled with mercury (Hg) in a glass tube with … more
Galileo’s Pump Problem
Galileo’s Pump Problem A duke living in Tuscany, Italy, in the 17th century installed a well in the courtyard of the palace. But, the duke saw the pump fail to pull water up. The Duke asked … more
Pressure and Pressing Area
The force applied per unit area is called pressure. If the force applied to any two points is the same, the larger the area, the smaller the pressure. Conversely, the smaller the area, the greater the … more
Equilibrium of Radiation
Radiation Places close to the stove feel warmer than places farther away. This is because heat is transferred directly from the stove without any movement of material. This phenomenon in which heat is transferred directly without … more
Where did Dew come from?
Could the cup’s water leak out? From the conclusion, the water on the surface of the cup is derived from the air. In an arid desert, dew does not occur. If you put the ice in … more
