Description

The influence of life has to be taken into account rather soon in the history of the atmosphere because hints of early life-forms appear as early as 3. In London they were on display outside the Natural History Museum; and were subsequently exhibited outside City Hall for most of 2005, together with a giant world map on the ground showing where each photograph was taken.

An international bestseller when it was first published, The Earth from the Air is a visual record of the world's diversity. Although variations do occur, the temperature usually declines with increasing altitude in the troposphere because the troposphere is mostly heated through energy transfer from the surface. The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere (though it is so tenuous that some scientists consider it to be part of interplanetary space rather than part of the atmosphere). This daybook presents 365 entirely new, utterly dazzling images from master aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand.Because in an ideal gas of constant composition the speed of sound depends only on temperature and not on pressure or density, the speed of sound in the atmosphere with altitude takes on the form of the complicated temperature profile (see illustration to the right), and does not mirror altitudinal changes in density or pressure. The atmosphere becomes thinner with increasing altitude, with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. Besides argon, already mentioned, other noble gases, neon, helium, krypton, and xenon are also present. kg, depending on whether surface pressure or water vapor data are used; somewhat smaller than the previous estimate. The geocorona visible in the far ultraviolet (caused by neutral hydrogen) extends to at least 100,000 kilometres (62,000 mi).

The images are taken from the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) and show Earth as it rotates during a day. Atmospheric pressure is the total weight of the air above unit area at the point where the pressure is measured. However, Earth's auroras—the aurora borealis (northern lights) and aurora australis (southern lights)—sometimes occur in the lower part of the exosphere, where they overlap into the thermosphere. The air is so rarefied that an individual molecule (of oxygen, for example) travels an average of 1 kilometre (0.

Main article: Troposphere A picture of Earth's troposphere with its different cloud types of low to high altitudes casting shadows.

The various layers of Earth's ionosphere, important to HF radio propagation, begin below 100 km and extend beyond 500 km. Yann takes on various photographic assignments, amongst them locations such as Russia and the Lebanon, learning on the way about the ecological issues that drive him. New editorials by such renowned authors as Jane Goodall, Matthieu Ricard and Olivier Blond consider such perpetual issues as agriculture, climate and biodiversity, as well as the latest concerns – refugees, new technologies and environmental movements.

These are the highest clouds in the atmosphere and may be visible to the naked eye if sunlight reflects off them about an hour or two after sunset or similarly before sunrise. Animation shows the buildup of tropospheric CO 2 in the Northern Hemisphere with a maximum around May.

Often taken from a low altitude, they reveal the imprint of human civilization on the face of the globe. In the stratosphere, starting above about 20 km, the temperature increases with height, due to heating within the ozone layer caused by the capture of significant ultraviolet radiation from the Sun by the dioxygen and ozone gas in this region. The average temperature of the atmosphere at Earth's surface is 14 °C (57 °F; 287 K) [34] or 15 °C (59 °F; 288 K), [35] depending on the reference.Temperature decreases with altitude starting at sea level, but variations in this trend begin above 11 km, where the temperature stabilizes over a large vertical distance through the rest of the troposphere. They have been published in a number of books together with text describing environmental concerns related to the photographs. Because the Sun is close to the horizon, the Sun's rays pass through more atmosphere than normal before reaching your eye. Various industrial pollutants also may be present as gases or aerosols, such as chlorine (elemental or in compounds), fluorine compounds and elemental mercury vapor. In the late Archean Eon an oxygen-containing atmosphere began to develop, apparently produced by photosynthesizing cyanobacteria (see Great Oxygenation Event), which have been found as stromatolite fossils from 2.
