The Dynamic Structure of the Atmosphere
Lesson 3
The Dynamic Structure of the
Atmosphere
Goal
To familiarize you with the factors that affect atmospheric motion including
atmospheric pressure, wind, frictional influences, fronts and air masses. To
explain how topographical features such as land, water, and mountains affect air
movement.
Objectives
Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to do the following:
1. Name and explain three forces that determine wind direction and speed
within the earths friction layer.
2. Explain why wind speed changes with height and why this is important in air
pollution studies.
3. Describe the effect that pressure systems have on the transport of air
pollution.
4. Identify the two basic properties of an air mass.
5. Distinguish between four different types of fronts.
6. Explain the phenomenon called “frontal trapping.”
7. Explain how different types of terrain affect air flow and consequently air
pollution dispersion.
Introduction
We are all familiar with the various forms atmospheric motion can take: gentle breezes,
thunderstorms, and hurricanes, to name a few. Air moves in an attempt to equalize the air
pressure imbalances that develop as a result of variations in insolation and differential
heating. Differential heating is the main cause of atmospheric motion on the earth. This
lesson will answer your questions about what causes the wind to blow from a certain
direction and what causes the general global patterns of air circulation. You will learn
how winds aloft behave differently from surface winds and how surface winds are
influenced by the earth’s topography.
Atmospheric Circulation
Air moves in an attempt to equalize imbalances in pressure that result from differential
heating of the earths surface. While moving from areas of high pressure to low pressure,
wind is heavily influenced by the presence or absence of friction. Thus, surface winds
behave differently than winds aloft due to frictional forces acting near the earths
