what are nimbostratus clouds
dark, grey, featureless layers of cloud,
what is weather
weather is the atmospheric condition of a place which occurs at a paticular time or over a short time
what is a jet stream
a jet stream is a narrow band of fast moving air high up in our atmosphere
what is a cumulus cloud
Cumulus clouds are the puffy clouds that look like puffs of cotton. Cumulus clouds that do not get very tall are indicators of fair weather. If they do grow tall, they can turn into thunderstorms.
what is fog
Fog appears when water vapor (water in its gaseous form) condenses. During condensation, molecules of water vapor combine to make tiny water droplets that hang in the air
what do meteoroligis do
A meteorologist is an individual with specialized education who uses scientific principles to explain, understand, observe or forecast the earth's atmospheric phenomena and/or how the atmosphere affects the earth and life on the planet.
what is a sea breeze
a sea breeze is the warm air over the land its rising the cooler is over the ocean is folowing
what is ground water
ground water is artesian wells man made wells springs and aquafers.
what is a land breeze
A land breeze is a local wind system characterized by a flow from land to water late at night
what is a warm front
A Warm Front forms when a relatively moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. As the warm air mass rises, it often condenses into a broad area of clouds.
what is climate
climate is the long term region or global avreage of tempiture humidity and rain fall patterns over seasons years or decades
which weather instrument gathers data about wind
A-Thermometer
B-barometer
c-anometer
D-Hygrometer
C anemometer
what is a barometer
A barometer is a scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather
what is a cirrus cloud
Cirrus clouds form from the ascent of dry air, making the small quantity of water vapour in the air undergo deposition into ice (to change from a gas directly into a solid).
what is a tornado
Tornado - A violently rotating column of air touching the ground, usually attached to the base of a thunderstorm.
what brings warm weather to nc
Howard also designated a special rain cloud category which combined the three forms cumulo + cirro + stratus. He called this cloud "nimbus", the Latin word for rain.
what is a stratus cloud
Stratus clouds are low-level layers with a fairly uniform grey or white colour. Often the scene of dull, overcast days in its 'nebulosus' form, they can persist for long periods of time.
which weather instrument measures wind
An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed and wind pressure. Anemometers are important tools for meteorologists, who study weather patterns.
what is a gulf stream
the gulf stream is a warm ocean current that starts in the gulf of mexico on the east cost
what is a nibus cloud
Howard also designated a special rain cloud category which combined the three forms cumulo + cirro + stratus. He called this cloud "nimbus", the Latin word for rain.
what is wind
wind is the movement of of air from one location to another
what is transiration
Transpiration is defined as the process where water evaporates into the atmosphere through plants.
what is a hydrometer
a hydrometer is used for measuring the humidity or amount of water vapor in the air
what is a cold front
A cold front forms when a cold, dense air mass pushes under a warm, lighter air mass, forcing the warm air to rise. The cold air advances, replacing the warm air at the surface.
what is a thermometer used for
a thermometer is the most accurate tool for finding high or low tempatures
