Temperature - Insolation, Heat Transfer, 3 Lapse Rate & 4 Scales in Climatology
Temperature
- It is a physical quantity.
- That expresses the subjective perceptions of hot and cold.
- Measured with a thermometer.
- Historically standardised in various temperature scales and units of measurement.
- Most commonly used scales are the Celsius scale
INSOLATION
- It is the solar radiation that reaches the earthΥs surface.
- Measured by the amount of solar energy received per square centimetre per minute.
Factors Affecting Insolation
Variation in Solar Insolation
Local variations in the atmosphere such as water vapour, clouds, and pollution; latitude of the location.
Radiation, Conduction & Convection
Heat transfer can be grouped into three broad categories:
- Conduction
- Convection
- Radiation
Vertical & Horizontal Temperature Distribution
Dew Point and Cloud Formation
