Atmospheric thermodynamics
Videos
Atmospheric thermodynamics is the study of heat-to-work transformations that take place in the Earth's atmosphere and manifest as weather or climate. Atmospheric thermodynamics use the laws of classic
Air is being moistened as it travels toward convective system. Ascending motion in a deep convective core produces air expansion, cooling, and condensation. Upper-level outflow visible as an anvil cloud is eventually descending conserving mass (rysunek – Robert Simmon).
In meteorology, convective available potential energy is a measure of the capacity of the atmosphere to support the vertical movement of air that can lead to cloud formation and storms. As air rises i

…Graphical Methods in the Thermodynamics of Fluids." Thermodynamic diagram developed in the 19th century is still used to calculate quantities such as convective available potential energy or air stability. These sorts of foundations naturally began to be applied towards the development of theoretical models of atmospheric thermodynamics…
The version of CAPE most representative of convective instability depends on the meteorological environment.
