100
This layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer.
What is the stratosphere?
100
These types of surfaces have a higher albedo.
What is light colored or shiny?
100
When air pressure increases, this happens to the air temperature.
What is increases?
100
This dude originally proposed a one cell model of global air circulation.
Who is George Hadley?
100
This is the reason upper air flow is primarily westward.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
200
These happen on the longest and shortest days of the year, when daylight is at its longest and at its shortest.
What are solstices?
200
These wavelengths have the highest energy.
What are short wavelengths?
200
Without increasing temperature, convergence and frontal collision are two other types of making air rise. What is the fourth type?
What is orographic lifting?
200
Polar easterlies and Hadley cell are two of the three different macroscale circulation patterns of the Earth. What is the third one?
What is westerlies?
200
The United States is situated in this belt of air circulation.
What is the westerlies?
300
These happen as a result of the tilt of the Earth and angle of direct sunlight that occurs.
What are seasons?
300
This is the ultimate source of energy for the Earth.
What is the sun?
300
This type of air cools slower than unsaturated air when rising through the atmosphere.
What is saturated?
300
Hadley did not take into consideration this effect when he proposed his one cell model.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
300
This is the reversal of ocean current off the east coast of South America.
What is El Nino?
400
These happen during the spring and the fall when there are equal amounts of daylight and darkness.
What are equinoxes?
400
This type of weather imagery is useful for distinguishing between thick and thin clouds.
What is visible imagery?
400
In this type of situation, the air parcel will always rise through the atmosphere.
What is absolute instability?
400
This is described as a meandering fast moving stream of air.
What is the Jet Stream.
400
A more direct angle of radiation will result in a (hotter or colder) temperature.
What is hotter?
500
As you go up into the atmosphere toward space, this happens to the temperature of the atmosphere.
What is decreases, increases, decreases, increases?
500
This type of weather satellite imagery is able to be seen all the time.
What is infrared imagery?
500
This is the reason air cools as it moves from high pressure to low pressure areas.
What is the the drop in pressure takes more energy with it.
500
These people were the first to discover the Jet Stream.
Who were WW2 pilots?
500
This force pushes air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
What is pressure gradient force?
