The concept of atmospheric weather it is used to designate the variety of phenomena that occur in the atmosphere.
It should be noted that when talking about time, it is referring to the activity of the phenomena during a period that can range from one to several days. Meanwhile, when it comes to a longer period of time, such as being thirty years or more, it will be talked about in terms of climate. Climatology deals with studying phenomena in the longest times and meteorology is the one that deals with them when it is a short term.
It will be the differences in terms of solar energy that motivate the changes over time. In each season of the year, the various local weather variables will be measured such as: temperature, atmospheric pressure, cloudiness, humidity, wind, the amount of rainfall and then once each of these is known, others can be obtained as a result of them. such as: vapor pressure and thermal sensation.
Many instruments are used in this regard: weather stations, satellites, stations on ships, computers that perform calculations using predictive models, among others.
Then, to these conditions the laws of physics will be applied and the time will be predicted with a projection of 12, 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours.
Almost all the energy caused by atmospheric changes comes from radiation from the sun, although the sun's rays do not directly heat the air in the atmosphere but rather indirectly, first heating the lithosphere and the hydrosphere and once both have been heated and transfer their heat to the atmosphere.
It is also important to mention that in addition to radiation from the sun there are other sources of thermal energy that can heat the atmosphere: volcanic eruptions, transpiration of flora and fauna, and hot spots at the bottom of the oceans. Now, all of them together do not exceed the energy of the sun.
