Weather Data
What is the scientific study of the atmosphere?
Meteorology
What is another name of atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure
What is a front?
When 2 different air masses meet, they don't easily mix unless they have similar temperature and humidity. The boundary they form called a front.
What is isobar?
Similar to contour lines on a topographic map except they are measurements of air pressure in an air mass.
What is dew point?
Temperature at which the air is saturated with water vapor.
What does temperature represent?
It is an indication of the amount of thermal energy in the air.
What is air pressure?
What is a warm or cold front?
A cold front is the place where a cold air mass pushes a warm air mass out of the area.
A warm front is a place where a warm air mass moves a cold air mass out of the area.
What national government agency provides and analyze reports for weather forcast?
National Weather Service
What does dew point help predict?
What is the instrument to measure wind speed?
Anemometer
What is the instrument to measure air pressure?
Barometer
What is a stationary front?
A stationary front is a place where a warm air mass and a cold air mass are equally strong and can't move.
What is a station model?
Weather data from each weather station in a symbolic form is called a station model.
What is heat index?
The combination of temperature and relative humidity to determine what the air feels like.
What is precipitation?
How does that instrument work?
Based on the sea level pressure.
What is occluded front?
Where 2 cold front squeeze a warm air mass up and over themselves.
What is the line (staff) from the circle indicate?
Indicates the direction of the wind where it comes from.
What does it mean if the water is saturated?
What is the instrument that measure humidity?
Hygrometer
(hygro - wet, moist)
Hydrometer - measuring the density of the liquids.
Give an example on either high & low pressure area.
High pressure
Cooler temp
Air moves down and clockwise
Less water vapor mean clear skies with no precipitation.
Low pressure
Warm temp
Air moves up and counter clockwise
More water vapor mean cloudy skies with precipitation.
We can expect precipitation when fronts collided.
What does the number and lengths of angled lines (flags) attached to the staff indicate?
Gideon asked for the signs from God before he save the Israel. Where is that passage from? Please provide the complete encounter of God and Gideon.
Please read Judges 6:36-40 out loud.
