Layers of the Atmosphere
Humidity
100
These are the highest forming clouds.
What is cirrocumulus, cirrus, and cirrostratus?
100
This weather condition occurs when there are no clouds in the sky.
What is a sunny day?
100
This is the most common type of precipitation.
What is rain?
100
This is the first layer of the atmosphere.
What is the troposphere?
100
This is a measure of how saturated the air is.
What is humidity?
200
These are mid-level clouds
What are Altocumulus and Altostratus?
200
This is the weather where clouds are partially obscuring the sky.
What is partly sunny or partly cloudy?
200
This is the precipitation when the air is below freezing and water is crystallized.
What is snow?
200
This is the second-lowest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the stratosphere?
200
This is a measure of moisture in the atmosphere based on total moisture capacity.
What Is Relative Humidity?
300
These are the Lowest Level Clouds
What are stratus, cumulus, and stratocumulus?
300
This happens when there is a lot of moisture in the air and the dew point is close to the dry bulb.
What is cloudy?
300
This is the precipitation when an updraft is formed and water is suspended high up in the air for a long period of time.
What is hail?
300
This is the third layer of the atmosphere.
What is mesosphere?
300
These form high in the atmosphere when the temperature reaches the dew point.
What are clouds?
400
This cloud is formed when rain-cooled air from the downdraft is pulled into the updraft.
What is a wall cloud or a supercell?
400
The weather that is present when there is a temperature difference between the ground and air.
What is fog?
400
This is a thin coating of ice formed by rain freezing on contact with a cold surface.
What is sleet?
400
This is the fourth layer of the atmosphere.
What is the thermosphere?
400
Say the wet bulb temperature is 17C then the dry bulb is 22C. This is the relative humidity.What is 61%?
500
These clouds develop in response to the forced lifting of air by the earth's topography and are typically rolling that hold close to the ground.
What are orographic clouds?
500
This is the weather if there is a large air current moving from the south-east towards the northeast.
What is a nor'easter?
500
This is the precipitation called when water coalesces on surfaces when it is foggy out.
What Is Fog Drip?
500
This layer is ionized by soft x-rays and far UV rays.
What is the E Layer?
500
This is the atmosphere's tendency to encourage or deter vertical motion
What is Atmospheric Instability?
