We continue by exploring vapour pressure changes and how to apply vapour pressure to a liquid. Study the factors influencing the heating effect, insolation, evaporation and condensation. Do you know that there are certain losses in solar radiation? To learn about these losses, you need to understand the modes of heat transfer and how heating happens in the atmosphere. We explore temperature inversion and the classification of the atmosphere. We help you analyse the environmental curve and the environmental lapse rate (ELR). The layers of the atmosphere include the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere and the exosphere. We will identify the various layers of the atmosphere starting from the ground level. You will then discover the seawater temperature bucket and the procedures for using it to measure sea surface temperature. Prepare yourself by understanding the terms: ‘aneroid barometer’, ‘Stevenson screen’, ‘whirling psychrometer’, ‘relative humidity’ and different types of hygrometers used when measuring atmospheric pressure. Do you know that temperature, pressure and humidity (moisture) can interact to form clouds? If you take your ship out without understanding the atmospheric conditions, you will risk your life and the shipping vessel. Some weather variables produce environmental conditions that form a chain reaction but may not remain entirely in the atmosphere. If you measure the weather, you should know that weather maps help indicate the atmospheric conditions of various portions of the Earth’s surface. When working with shipborne meteorological instruments, it is crucial to learn about preventive measures. This course has been specially prepared to teach you about shipborne meteorological instruments.
