I don't know if this what you are looking for, but here is a page which gives many types of meteorological equations.\n\nhttp://members.aol.com/Accustiver/wxworld_calc.html

the atmosphere is made mostly of hydrogen and helium but contains trace amounts of methane, water vapor, and ammonia. For futher information go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_(planet)#Atmosphere

"There are basically four elements of weather that can help describe weather. The four elements include  wind, temperature, air pressure and moisture." (From the ref.) These may seem an arbitrary choice until you realize that they are all easily measurable and independent of each other, whereas dew point and cloud cover can be said to derive from humidity, temperature and pressure.

are you asking for second layer from the bottom or form the top.\nFrom the bottom it is stratosphere, whichi houses the ozone layer. Many jet aircrafts fly in this layer because it is veru stable.\nFrom the top, it is the thermosphere. Auroras take place in this layer. It is also where the space shuttle orbits. It is also the layer in which space shuttles orbit.

There are in fact many different atmospheric layers as you move upward away from the earth. However, there are NOT different layers of gases. All the gases are sort of mixed.\n\nThe troposphere, the atmospheric layer that we live in, contains the most gases. This is due to gravity. Anything that has mass will be attracted to earth's gravity.\n\nThat is why when you move away from the earth there is less air. Less gravity = less air!\n\nThe higher you go in the troposphere, the colder it gets. That is also due to less air (holds heat).\n\nThe next layer up is the stratosphere. This layer is where most jets fly & where the atmospheric ozone layer exists.\n\nTemperatures in the stratosphere will get warmer due to the ozone layer. Ozone is an insulator & traps heat.\n\nAs you move higher, you will reach the mesosphere. And, as you may have already guessed, this layer contains even less air. It also gets pretty darn cold as you move away from the ozone layer. "Shooting stars" occur in this layer. Meteorites burn up as they enter our atmosphere.\n\nThe last layer is called the thermosphere. It has the least amount of air. But the odd thing is that this is the hottest layer!!!\n\nSounds strange??? Well here is why...\n\nAlthough there is less air to hold heat, there is still some present. Mind you, it is few & far between. Imagine being in the Astrodome & someone across the field threw a BB at you! That is how sparse the air particles are.\n\nHowever, we have said there is air! That air that is present is constantly bombarded with nasty cosmic rays! By this time, here is so much energy in the air particles that the temperature is astronomical (no pun intended).\n\nBecause of this, the thermosphere is often called the "heat sphere", just as it's name implies.\n\nSatellites are put into orbit in the thermosphere.\n\nTo get directly to your question... there are different layers because scientists decided to name them according to temperature changes.

Our atmosphere is considered the upper layer of our planet, meaning that it rotates with the planet.  So due to friction and gravity you will stay in the smae position relative to the ground below you basically rotating with the Earth, unless it is windy.

If you really want a global overview and want to get a handle on weather causes, you should delve into the Weather Blog at http://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana\n\nDo not forget to pull up the urls in the Blog Roll and the ones that appear in the articles and in the blast.  Save the ones you find interesting.\n\nThe Atmosphere and the Oceans are intimately related weatherwise.  If you are not interested in that relationshi;p, you will never get a handle on what you want.\n\nThere are lots of answers to Weather Questions in my Answers.  If you start clicking things off a little at a time the complete picture will start forming eventually.\n\nMuch easier to do in the ara of Satellite Views over the Internet than it was 40 years ago.

troposphere: From the Greek word "tropos" meaning to turn or mix. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere starting at the surface going up to between 7 km at the poles and 17 km at the equator with some variation due to weather factors. The troposphere has a great deal of vertical mixing due to solar heating at the surface. This heating warms air masses, which then rise to release latent heat as sensible heat that further buoys the air mass. This process continues until all water vapor is removed. In the troposphere, on average, temperature decreases with height due to expansive cooling. \n\nstratosphere: from that 7–17 km range to about 50 km, temperature increasing with height. \n\nmesosphere: from about 50 km to the range of 80 km to 85 km, temperature decreasing with height. \n\nthermosphere: from 80–85 km to 640+ km, temperature increasing with height. \n\nThe boundaries between these regions are named the tropopause, stratopause, and mesopause.\n\nAtmospheric regions are also named in other ways:\n\nionosphere – the region containing ions: approximately the mesosphere and thermosphere up to 550 km. \n\nexosphere – above the ionosphere, where the atmosphere thins out into space. This is the last major atmosphere. (“Exo” means “outside” in Greek.) \n\nmagnetosphere – the region where the Earth's magnetic field interacts with the solar wind from the Sun. It extends for tens of thousands of kilometers, with a long tail away from the Sun. \n\nozone layer – or ozonosphere, approximately 10 - 50 km, where stratospheric ozone is found. Note that even within this region, ozone is a minor constituent by volume. \n\nupper atmosphere – the region of the atmosphere above the mesopause. \n\nVan Allen radiation belts – regions where particles from the Sun become concentrated.

There are many properties but the two most important are:\n\n1. Temperature (cold or warm air mass) - this affects the density of the air mass as well as it's relative humidity, dew point, how it interacts with other air masses of different temperatures, etc. Temperature is the main driver for what types of weather systems will be generated within an air mass.\n\n2. Absolute humidity - the actual water content of the air mass all attributes to the types of weather systems it will generate, and where highs and lows will form.\n\nAlso, air masses can be moving or stagnant, stable or unstable, constant or dynamic, and I'm probably forgetting others.

You have a misconception as to what an ozone layer is.  Ozone is a gas and is found throughout the atmosphere, even at ground level.  The ozone layer is the range in the atmosphere where ozone levels are the highest.  Oxygen O2 is present in the ozone layer as well (as are all other atmospheric gasses).  You should also note that in the ozone layer there isn't actually a whole lot of ozone, just more than there is anywhere else.  I think it's around 5 parts per million; meaning there is 1 molecule of ozone for every 200,000 other molecules.  There isn't a blanket of ozone, it's just an area where ozone is 5-10ppm instead of 1ppm or less.  \n\nWhy does most of it stay where it is?  Ozone is a somewhat unstable molecule and the same mechanism that typically forms ozone also breaks it down.  Simply, O2 gets hit by some photons of the right energy (some kind of UV light) and is split into O and O, one (or both) of those O's bonds to another O2 molecule to form O3, ozone.  Sooner or later, that O3 gets hit by the right energy of UV light and one of the O's break off to form O2 and a spare O which will find another O2 to bond with and repeat the cycle.  A small percent of the ozone does drop into the statosphere (where we live).

The atmosphere is the mixture of gas molecules and other materials surrounding the earth. It is made mostly of the gases nitrogen (78%), and oxygen (21%). Argon gas and water (in the form of vapor, droplets and ice crystals) are the next most common things. There are also small amounts of other gases, plus many small solid particles, like dust, soot and ashes, pollen, and salt from the oceans. The atmosphere is densest (thickest) at the bottom, near the Earth. It gradually thins out as you go higher and higher up. There is no sharp break between the atmosphere and space.\n\nThe blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. \n\nHowever, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.\n\nAs you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.
