  1. Fundamental Conceptsfor Essential Principal:The Earth has a thin atmosphere that sustains life. Breakout session: 5a Recorder: <insert name> ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  2. Initial Comments ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  3. Fundamental Concept #1 • Atm is a mixture of gases with minute quantities of liquid and solid particles ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  4. Fundamental Concept #2 • Atm has weight and is bound to Earth by gravity, pressure ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  5. Fundamental Concept #3 • The thin atmosphere varies vertically and horizontally; a. has an structure b. Temp profile and composition give rise to dynamics c. Atm structure is associated with dynamics; fluid; vulnerable, ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  6. Fundamental Concept #4 • Atmosphere composition varies from place–to-place and time-to-time. variation space/time density therefore structure • Veritical/horizontal variation connection to Earth system ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  7. Fundamental Concept #5 • The atmosphere and life have co-evolved • Atmospheric components and their dynamic nature makes Earth habitable for life====ozone, oxygen, water vapor (distribution and climate connection) • this was not fully discussed—could be more concepts here) ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  8. Fundamental Concept #6 ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  9. Fundamental Concept #7 ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  10. Concluding Remarks ASCL Workshop— Boulder, CO

  11. Final Step • At the end of the breakout session, the Recorder should save this file, using the following naming convention:ascl_breakout_<session#(5b, 7a, etc)>.ppt eg., ascl_breakout_6c.ppt • Once you have saved the file, please transfer it to your session’s OPL, who will upload it for use in the following plenary.
