What are the parameters that characterize atmospheric physical properties?

Earth's outer space: the basic state parameters of the atmosphere.

The parameters describing the basic state of the atmosphere are temperature, pressure, humidity and wind. These four physical quantities are parameters representing the basic state of the atmosphere, also known as meteorological elements. In addition, there are precipitation, cloud cover and cloud shape.

Many contents of atmospheric physics involve the study of climate change; Atmospheric physics is the basis of atmospheric exploration and applied meteorology, and the development of these two disciplines enriches the content of atmospheric physics. For example, atmospheric physics provides a theoretical basis for meteorological radar observation, and radar meteorological information provides rich data for studying atmospheric physical processes.

Extended data:

Features: Atmospheric acoustics, atmospheric optics, atmospheric electricity, radio meteorology, studying the sound, light and electricity phenomena in the atmosphere and the propagation characteristics of sound waves and electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere; Radar meteorology studies the principle and method of detecting the atmosphere with meteorological radar and its application in weather analysis and forecast, cloud and precipitation physics.

Atmospheric radiation studies the transmission and transformation process and radiation balance of radiation in the earth's atmospheric system; Cloud and precipitation physics studies the formation, development and dissipation of clouds and precipitation; Atmospheric boundary layer physics studies the horizontal and vertical distribution of temperature, humidity, wind and other factors in the lower atmosphere, atmospheric turbulence and diffusion, water vapor and heat transfer.
