The
weather, the most important thing in human's life.
Do
you know how wind and rain are generated? Everything starts from the sun. In
this game, you can control only the sun. The sun provides almost all the energy
to happen something.
When the sun rises highly, everything in the earth got
energy and the temperature rises. But if even they got same energy, the increases
of temperature are different because specific heats of them are different. Specific
heat decides when those get energy, how much the temperature increases. In this
game, a land is on the side of left, a sea is on the side of right. Water has the
high specific heat, so the sun increases the temperature of the land more rapidly
than that of the sea. Therefore air on the land rises. As you know, hot air is
lighter than cold one’s. But when they reached the high altitude, the temperature
decreases because air can barely absorb energy from the visible lay or other
high frequency lays. Those cool down and spread and descend to on the sea side,
relatively the low temperature area. This air stream makes winds from sea to
land. And air has water vapor. When water vapor rises and cools down it is
condensed and change to tiny water drops. This are clouds. And if they are heavy
then it will fall, this is rain.
After
the sun sets, the situation is reversed. The temperature on the land falls
faster than the sea. The air on the land descends. Winds blow from the land to
the sea.
In
the game, the air rises at the mountain. If there are no specific geographical
features as like the mountains, it is hard to spot out where air rises. So the
weather forecast uses to be wrong sometimes, even though we use supercomputer
to expect it exactly.
