Abstract
All motions in the atmosphere connected with weather are formed as a result of heating from the sun. The atmosphere acts as a kind of heat engine, continually converting heat into mechanical energy; and mechanical energy is in turn converted back to heat by frictional dissipation. This indicates that neither pure hydrodynamics, nor pure thermodynamics suffices to explain the motions in the atmosphere; the appropriate science is a combination of both, which is called “ physical hydrodynamics”.
