stationary
ocean water from near the equator that travels towards the poles. Also known as a surface current.
warm current

low pressure
a collection of water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere.

UPWELLING
clouds that look like fluffy, rounded piles of cotton and usually mean fair weather. low clouds
cumulus
Who are meteorologist?
The people who study about weather.
occurs when an air mass encounters a pressure difference with a surrounding air mass
air mass movement
a front where warm air moves over cold air and brings drizzly rain and then are followed by warm and clear weather
warm front
ocean water from the poles that travel towards the equator. Also known as deep current.
cold current
stratus cloud at ground level.
