How the Atmosphere Works: A Process-Based Framework
This post introduces a process-based view of the atmosphere that explains how energy and mass move through thermodynamic, microphysical, radiative, and kinematic pathways. By tracing how these processes couple across scales, from the surface to the jet stream, we gain a clearer picture of convection, storm evolution, and the connections that organize weather and climate.
