On the Exchange of Energy in the Lower Atmosphere

Abstract

If δQ₁ is the total energy consumed or accumulated in unit volume of the lower atmosphere per unit time and δQ₂ is that which enters in or comes out of this space per unit time δQ₁ should be equal to δQ₂. δQ₁ and δQ₂ are calculated by the following equations, We calculated numerically these equations of the atmosphere using the data obtained at Tokyo observatory. We made sure that the 1st law of thermodynamics holds satisfactorily good in the atmosphere.
