This cloud forms near the ground.
What is fog.
100
It marks the edge of the oncoming air mass.
What is a front.
100
Water vapor that is formed in warm air temperatures.
What is rain.
100
It has low pressure and usually brings warm and stormy weather.
What is warm, humid air.
100
Scientists who study Earth's atmosphere and weather.
What is Meteorologists.
200
Wispy with fuzzy edges form at high altitudes.
What is cirrus clouds.
200
It is a large region of air that has similar temperatures or humidity.
What is a air mass.
200
This forms when air temperature is close to or below freezing.
What is snow.
200
A large mass of air that brings clear, dry weather.
What is a high air pressure system.
200
It shows the weather in a specific area at a specific time.
What is a weather map
300
Individual puffy clouds that form at middle altitudes.
What is cumulus clouds.
300
It's a high altitude wind caused by large temperature differences between air masses.
What is the jet stream.
300
It's raindrops that form through a layer of very cold air near the ground and freeze.
What is sleet.
300
It has high pressure and usually brings dry, clear weather.
What is cool, dry air.
300
A red line with red half circles.
What is a warm front.
400
Blanket like layers at low altitudes.
What is stratus clouds.
400
This is the area where an air mass gets its characteristics from.
What is a source region.
400
This is formed in severe thunderstorm clouds when raindrops in the cloud combine with bits of ice.
What is hail.
400
A large mass of air that brings wind, rain and thunderstorms.
What is a low pressure system
400
Variables are on a weather map.
What is air pressure, fronts, precipitation, temperature.
500
This forms when water vapor particles are carried high into the atmosphere. They lose heat energy and become colder.
What is clouds.
500
It's a boundary between two different air masses where neither one is strong enough to replace the other.
What is a stationary front.
500
Precipitation
What is water from clouds in the form of very small drops that collide with each other and form larger drops.
500
H = happy weather - dry and clear L = lousy weather - rain and storms
