When you look outside and see that the sky is overcast, this is what you would do with a station model.
What is fill in / shade in the center of the circle (100%)?
100
This type of climate is due to the fact that the land is elevated within a mountain range.
What is highlands?
100
This type of front is symbolized by blue triangles and often causes thunderstorms and other severe weather.
What is a cold front?
100
This weather tool would be great at measuring the air temperature on a hot day.
What is a thermometer
100
This type of weather map reports the current weather conditions closest to Earth's land.
What is a surface report?
200
Your anemometer reads that the wind speed is 20 knots. How would you indicate that on a station model?
What is add two long (full-sized) wind "flags."
200
This type of climate zone is found in the far northern and far southern hemispheres.
What is polar?
200
This type of front is symbolized by red semi-circles and often brings rain showers followed by warmer weather.
What is a warm front?
200
Often appearing on the tops of barns, this weather instrument is great at measuring wind direction.
What is a wind vane?
200
This tool for measuring the location of precipitation works by bouncing a signal off of the smallest water droplets in the atmosphere, and then showing a "picture" of the storm.
What is a Doppler radar?
300
You look outside to notice that it's snowing. How and where should you report this on a station model?
What is add a star (*) on the center left side of the circle?
300
This type of climate zone is found in hot and humid areas near the equator.
What is tropical?
300
When the weather seems "stuck" in a showery pattern for a number of days in a row, this type of front is likely overhead.
What is a stationary front?
300
This spinning weather instrument is made to record wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
300
This type of scientist is responsible for reporting and predicting the weather.
What is a meteorologist?
400
Using your thermometer, you record a number in degrees Fahrenheit. What is this number, and where is it reported?
What is temperature, in the upper left corner?
400
This type of climate is known for its lack of precipitation and is often found on the side of a mountain range where there is hot, sinking air.
What is dry? (Desert)
400
A fast-moving cold front can catch up with a slower warm front. This results in the two combining to make what type of "new" front?
What is an occluded front?
400
The air pressure drops as you hike to the top of a mountain. This is the weather instrument that you would use to make these pressure measurements.
What is a barometer?
400
This type of weather map reports what the atmospheric conditions are at a height above the Earth's surface. The data is often collected by a weather balloon.
What is an upper air report?
500
This number that's related to the air's humidity is always reported in the bottom left.
What is dew point?
500
This type of climate is moderate - not too hot or too cold - because it is found near large bodies of water.
What is temperate marine?
500
This type of pressure system often appears where a cold and warm front meet, and almost always is at the center of a storm system.
What is a low pressure system?
500
This instrument used to measure humidity looks like a thermometer with a "wet bulb" and "dry bulb."
What is a hygrometer?
500
This effect is responsible for the fact that mountain ranges have a "moist" and "dry" side.
