421: Weather Forecasts - A Study Of Heat And Air Mass
To understand a weather pattern, no matter where in the world it might occur, it is necessary to know about the interaction of the sun with the Earth, its atmosphere and the air masses that move around the globe. Much of the weather change that we experience on Earth is caused by, or includes, the uneven heat distributed throughout the atmosphere. If the sun heated the land, the oceans and the air at the same level all over the world, there would be no need for the atmosphere to attempt a state of equilibrium.

426: Water Vapor And Weather Change
In a very basic way, the water vapor that makes up clouds is a major catalyst of weather change. Though we may not be able to see it, water vapor is there, throughout the earth's atmosphere. Almost all of it comes from evaporating water rising from the oceans. Ocean water is heated by the sun and when the liquid is changed to the lighter form, gas, it rises. This evaporation is one of the keys to starting climate changes.
