For crying out cloud, just choose one!!
the scientific study of the atmosphere is called this
meteorology
this type of energy source is harnessed from the atmosphere
wind energy
Hail is frozen before it falls from a cloud. This type of precipitation freezes once it hits a solid object like the ground.
freezing rain
this instrument measures humidity in percentages
hygrometer
this effect increases as latitude increases, and is the reason we have global winds.
Coriolis Effect
this instrument measures atmospheric pressure
barometer
a mountain breeze is an example of this type of wind
local wind
When a gas turns directly into a solid it is called deposition. This forms on the surface of the earth when water undergoes deposition.
frost
the rate of change of air pressure between two locations is called this
pressure gradient
this prefix is used when naming mid-altitude cloud types
alto
this root word for a cloud indicates that they often bring rain
nimbus
if the dew point in the high troposphere is less than zero degrees Celsius, then all nuclei that gets caught up there will do this
freeze
this instrument measures wind in knots
anemometer
these are the three types of solid precipitation
snow, sleet, hail
these three things contribute to wind following cyclones and anticyclones
Coriolis effect, friction, and pressure
this always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
wind
this type of cloud remains as a liquid even though it is many degrees below freezing
supercooled cloud
this causes a permanent low pressure system at the equator
consistent solar heating causing the air to rise.
0 degrees Celsius and 100 degrees Celsius are the freezing and boiling points of water and are used as reference points for temperature. These are the same measurements in Fahrenheit.
32 and 212
this instrument measures wind in compass degrees
wind vane
cyclones always travel in this direction
counterclockwise
this type of cloud never produces rain
cirrus
this instrument measures pressure in lb/in2, Pascals, or others units like them
barometer
microscopic particles like dust, pollen, smoke, or salt that are suspended in the air cause water droplets to form. A collections of water droplets caused by these particles is called this
cloud
this is measured in grams per cubic meter
absolute humidity
