This applet simulates warm and cold air advection in the United States. It allows users to vary wind speed and direction in Ames, Iowa. The results show how the temperature gradient would change over a matter of time given the wind speed and direction. BudgetSim This applet simulates the energy intake of our atmosphere during the day and the lose of energy at night.
Users can vary the intensity of the sun during the day.
A tub of water fills up symbolically showing the energy intake of our atmosphere. This applet simulates the difficult concepts of adiabatic processes. A leaf symbolizes a parcel of air rising over the Mountain. Graphs then display the information as the leaf rises and falls. Users are allowed to vary the beginning temperature and vapor-pressure of the leaf.
