Atmosphere
This inorganic molecule, typically beneficial in the stratosphere, acts like a poison in the troposphere
What is ozone (O3)
When insolation from the Sun reaches Earth's surface, it is known as this form of energy interaction
What is transmission
This phase change is known for its ability to move from solid form to vapor
What is sublimation
This form of temperature uses an absolute scale
What is kelvin
This front occurs at the end of a cyclone's life, typically noted by cold air overtaking warmer air
What is an occluded front
This layer of the atmosphere is also known as the thermal layer due to its ability to burn incoming space debris
What is the mesosphere
This is known as the horizontal transfer of heat energy, which could result in coastal fog formation
What is advection
This is the Fahrenheit temperature at which water will boil at normal atmospheric pressure
What is 212 degrees Fahrenheit
This region of the planet is known to have a suprlus of thermal energy
What is the tropical/equatorial region
This form of cloud is often associated in developing vertically and large amounts of intense precipitation
What is a cumulonimbus cloud
This term is used to denote the top of one atmospheric layer is it moves to the next one
What is a pause
This term refers to the heat required to raise the temperature of one unit of substance through a particular temperature interval
What is specific heat capacity
This oceanic circulation keeps much of western Europe much warmer and wetter than expected
What is the Gulf Stream/North Atlantic current
The greatest annual temperature ranges (ATRs) can be most easily explaine due to these two factors
What is insolation variation (seasons) and continentality (large landmass/lack of water)
This form of unique weather is categorized by wind shear and incredibly fast moving vortexes
What is a tornado
This refers to insolation from the Sun "bouncing" off the upper surface of a stratus or cumulus cloud and returns to outer space without ever reaching Earth's surface
What is reflection
Snow is considered to have a large amount of this specific form of reflection
What is (high) albedo
This term refers to a line map of equal precipitation values
What is the isohyet map
This refers to the general type of relationship where increasing altitude results in a lowering density and temperature
What is an inverse relationship
What is counterclockwise
The thermosphere contains a unique combination of atmospheric molecules that interact with insolation to produce these colorful effects in the southern hemisphere
What is the aurora australis
Typical clear, blue sky conditions are associated with two distinct scattering and sun angle conditions
What is low/less atmospheric scattering and higher/more direct sun angle conditions
This general air mass is assocated with a warm, wet atmosphere
What is a mE/mT air mass
This term, in reference to dew points, will change when you either introduce additional water vapor into the atmosphere or a change in temperature occurs
What is relative humidity
This primarily 5-level scale is used to determine speeds of major cyclones along the tropical and equatorial regions of the planet
What is the Saffir-Simpson scale
