Key Understandings:
- Energy transfer (conduction, convection, radiation)
- Ozone Layer (blocks harmful ultraviolet rays)
- Temperature and heating
- Air move from high pressure to low pressure (wind)
- Low Pressure Systems move counterclockwise and inward (Coriolis Effect)
- Isotherms
- Station Models
- Atmospheric structure (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere)
- Atmospheric variables
- When Dew Point is close to Air Temperature = Higher Relative Humidity
- Weather instruments
- Water cycle (evapotranspiration, condensation, precipitation, etc.)
- Air masses and fronts
- Convection Cells
- Station Models
- Storms/severe weather
- Forecasting weather
- Cloud Formation
