Descriptif
What are the relevant variables that describe the atmosphere ?
And water ?
How variable is surface air temperature ?
How variable is surface pressure ?
And what about the winds ?
We refer to atmospheric layers, what are these?
Are there other horizontal characteristics of the Earth’s atmosphere to be noted ?
