Iced caused by small droplets found in layered clouds that is rough and white
Ryhme Ice
These two gases compose 98.5% of the atmosphere
Nitrogen and Oxygen
Unstable Atmosphere, Moisture, Lifting action
Large region of Air that has the similar characteristics of the surrounding area
a surface based cloud composed of either water droplets or ice crystals.
Fog
Ice formed by larger drops usually from in cumuliform clouds that freeze on contact
Clear ice
The lowest levels of the Atmosphere where almost all weather occurs
Troposphere
A line of multiple thunderstorm/cells that advance together
Squall line
The front moves fast close to the ground and develops thunderstorms and cumulous clouds
Cold Front
The Latin Suffix of -Nimbus denotes what in clouds
a change in wind speed and/or direction over a short distance. It can occur either horizontally or vertically and is most often associated with strong temperature inversions or density gradients.
Wind shear
a localized column of sinking air (downdraft) within a thunderstorm and is usually less than or equal to 2.5 miles in diameter.
Microburst
Warm Front
possess a flat and uniform type texture in the mid levels
Strato type clouds
Air movement that normally cannot be seen and often occurs unexpectedly
Turbulence
Coriolis Affect
menacing looking multi-level clouds, extending high into the sky in towers or plumes
Cumulonimbus clouds
a weather front or transition zone between two air masses (cold and warm), when neither air mass is advancing into the other at a speed exceeding 5 knots at the ground surface.
Stationary Front
Clouds formed by vertical currents in unstable air that are characterized by their lumpy, billowy appearance.
Cumulus clouds
very small solid particles ejected from a volcano during an eruption which have intermediate axes measuring between 1/16 (0.625) mm and 2 mm
Energy from the sun that hits the earth causes all weather and wind
75,000
forms when a warm air mass gets caught between two cold air masses.
Occluded Front
thin, feather-like ice crystal clouds in patches or narrow bands. Usually found at high altitude.
