surface-atmosphere energy balance and the Earth climate distribution.
- Understand how dry air thermodynamics explains the concept of atmospheric stability and its consequences.
- Understand water phase change phenomena and their implications in the atmospheric energy balance.
- Understand the forces that guide the direction and speed of winds in local and global scales.
- Understand the physical aspects that drive climate change
