fronts
the weather front model with a line of just triangles
what is the cold front?
the pressure system that brings sunshine and good weather
what is a high-pressure system?
a large body of air measured by temperature and humidity
what is an air mass?
a scientist that studies weather patterns and predicts it
what is a meteorologist?
the four types of weather fronts
what are cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts?
the type of air mass in a dry climate
what is a warm front?
the two air masses that are over the ocean
what are maritime polar (mP) and maritime tropical (mT) air masses?
description of a set of weather measurements made on Earth’s surface
what is a surface report?
the kind of front that forms when a cold mass and a warm mass meet but neither have enough force to move
what is a stationary front?
the large body of circulating air with high pressure at its center and lower pressure
what is a high-pressure system
the things maritime polar air masses are associated with
what is cool, moist, and unstable air?
a special type of radar that can detect precipitation as well as the movement of small particles
what is a doppler radar?
the way an occluded front is formed
what is an air mass getting caught between two cold air masses?
the large body of circulating air with low pressure at its center and higher pressure outside the system
what is a low-pressure system?
the two things air masses are classified by
what is temperature and moisture?
the thing that describes wind, temperatures, and humidity conditions above Earth’s surface
what is an upper-air report?
the way the four types of fronts can be formed
what are colliding air masses?
the pressure system that brings clouds and precipitation
what is a low-pressure system?
things air masses are commonly moved by in the u.s.
what are prevailing westerlies and jet streams?
a diagram that displays data from many different weather measurements for a specific location
what is a station model?
