- Most of the clouds you see in the sky are found in the troposphere, and this is the layer of the atmosphere we associate with weather. Extending up to 10 miles above Earth's surface, the troposphere contains a variety of gases: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others.

- The troposphere is where most weather processes take place.Almost all land-dwelling life forms are found in the bottom 5 kilometers (3 miles) of the atmosphere. At higher altitudes, the thin atmosphere and harsh conditions are inhospitable to most living organisms.

The ocean plays a fundamental role in shaping the climate zones we see on land. Even areas hundreds of miles away from any coastline are still largely influenced by the global ocean system. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents.

- Factors that Influence Weather. There are many factor that influence weather, many of which we cannot see. The Water Cycle. As the sun warms the surface of the Earth, water rises in the form of water vapor from lakes, rivers, oceans, plants, the ground, and other sources. This process is called evaporation.

Factors that Influence Climate Elevation or Altitude effect climate Normally, climatic conditions become colder as altitude increases. “Life zones” on a high mountain reflect the changes, plants at the base are the same as those in surrounding countryside, but no trees at all can grow above the timberline.

- The altitude affects the temperature in the atmosphere and therefore the form of the water droplets that form the clouds. Another influence on the type of precipitation that forms is whether there are strong upward drafts of air inside the cloud. Rain is a water droplet in liquid form, usually in lower altitude clouds. Snow falls when clouds are in higher and colder altitudes, which causes the water vapor to freeze as it condenses to form ice crystals instead of water droplets that form the cloud. Sleet is rain that freezes as it is falling in cold temperatures.

- In the troposphere, the air closer to the surface is warmer as the radiation from the sun warms the crust. The convective heat transfer causes thermals.

atmosphere Almost all weather develops in the troposphere because it contains almost all of the atmosphere’s water vapor. Clouds, from low-lying fog to thunderheads to high-altitude cirrus, form in the troposphere. Air masses, areas of high-pressure and low-pressure systems, are moved by winds in the troposphere.

Ionosphere & Radiowave Propagation Simplified view of the layers in the ionosphere over the period of a day Other effects like the season and the state of the Sun also have a major effect. Sunspots and solar disturbances have a major impact on the level of radiation received, and these effects are covered in other articles on this website on Sunspots and Solar Disturbances.

Factors that Influence Climate There are lots of factors that influence our climate. Elevation or Altitude effect climate.

- The weight that the atmosphere exerts as it pushes downward causes atmospheric pressure. This pressure in the Earth's atmosphere affects the weather.

Atmospheric Structure Temperature and water vapor content in the troposphere decrease rapidly with altitude. Water vapor plays a major role in regulating air temperature because it absorbs solar energy and thermal radiation from the planet's surface. The troposphere contains 99% of the water vapor in the atmosphere.

SCISAT-1 The top layer of the troposphere is called the tropopause. Within the troposphere the temperature drops to a low of -56C. This marks the beginning of the tropopause. Through the tropopause, the temperature reverses and begins to increase.

How Much Does Balayage Cost? 1 For partial hair highlights, you will probably pay anywhere from $60 to $85 for only one color. 2  If you want more than one color, the price will more than likely go up. 3  Salons that charge hourly will most likely cost you $60-$75 per hour.4  The usual application takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. Be sure to ask about this so you will not be surrised by your final bill. 2  The usual charges for a full head application for an average hair length will be between $140 and $200. 3  For partial hair highlights, you will probably pay anywhere from $60 to $85 for only one color.

What Happens in the Troposphere? According to the University of California in Santa Barbara, all weather occurs in the troposphere. It is the lowest level of the Earth’s atmosphere, and it is bonded on the top by a layer of air called the tropopause. Keep Learning.

The Troposphere The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. The troposphere starts at Earth's surface and goes up to a height of 7 to 20 km (4 to 12 miles, or 23,000 to 65,000 feet) above sea level. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. Almost all weather occurs within this layer. Air is warmest at the bottom of the troposphere near ground level. Higher up it gets colder. Air pressure and the density of the air are also less at high altitudes. The layer above the troposphere is called the stratosphere.

- The troposphere is the most interesting layer of the atmosphere. It is below the stratosphere. Weather happens in the troposphere. That is because the troposphere is the only layer that has enough water vapor to have clouds, which drop rain and snow.Some planes fly near the top of the troposphere.The troposphere is the most chaotic layer of the atmosphere; it is also the only one that can support life.eather happens in the troposphere.

Weather Almost all familiar weather phenomena occur in the troposphere (the lower part of the atmosphere). Weather does occur in the stratosphere and does affect weather lower down in the troposphere, but the exact mechanisms are poorly understood.

How does the temperature of the troposphere change as altitude increases? As the altitude increases, the temperature in the troposphere will decrease. The troposphere is the lowest portion of planet's atmosphere. As the altitude increases, the temperature in the troposphere will decrease. The troposphere is the lowest portion of planet's atmosphere.

Temperature in the Troposphere Higher up in the troposphere, where less heat from the surface warms the air, the temperature drops. Typically, the temperature drops about 6.5 C with each increase in altitude of 1 kilometer (about 3.6 F per 1,000 feet). The rate at which the temperature changes with altitude is called the lapse rate.

Layers of the Atmosphere Heat is produced in the process of the formation of Ozone and this heat is responsible for temperature increases from an average -60°F (-51°C) at tropopause to a maximum of about 5°F (-15°C) at the top of the stratosphere. This increase in temperature with height means warmer air is located above cooler air.

Troposphere and stratosphere? As altitude increases, the amount of air molecules decreases. Consequently, as altitude increases, air pressure decreases. The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface of the Earth. Its altitude is less than that of the stratosphere.Therefor, the air molecules are closer together in the troposphere. The air in the troposphere is, then, more dense than that in the stratosphere. Hence, the air pressure in the troposphere is greater than that in the stratosphere.s altitude increases, the amount of air molecules decreases. Consequently, as altitude increases, air pressure decreases. The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the surface of the Earth. Its altitude is less than that of the stratosphere.

A Brief Look at the Causes and Effects of Temperature Inversion The normal profile of the lower layer of troposphere undergoes a reversal. In normal conditions, the Earth heats up during the day and the heat radiated by the surface goes back to the atmosphere. Thus, the temperature of air naturally reduces as we go away from the Earth's surface.

Atmosphere, composition and structure Ozone affects climate, and climate affects ozone. Temperature, humidity, winds, and the presence of other chemicals in the atmosphere influence ozone formation, and the presence of ozone, in turn, affects those atmospheric constituents.
