Energy
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005370
The capacity to do work or produce heat within the atmosphere. In meteorology, it manifests in forms such as radiant energy from the sun, thermal energy stored in air and water, and kinetic energy associated with atmospheric motion. The conservation and transformation of energy drive all atmospheric processes, from local convection to global circulation patterns.
