100
The wind speed is measured in this
Knots
100
Lines that connect areas of equal value
What are isolines
100
This happens as a storm arrives
The pressure decreases
100
This method requires contact between two objects
What is Conduction
100
This tool is used to measure the temperature
What is a thermometer
200
The wind speed shown is two and a half feathers
25 Knots
200
Lines that connect area of equal temperature
What are isotherms
200
Air masses which form over an area of cold land
What is Continental Polar
200
This method requires the movement of a fluid (gas or liquid)
What is convection
200
How barometric pressure is measured
What is barometer
300
Located on the top right of the station model and displayed in shorted station code
What is barometric pressure
300
Lines that connect area of equal pressure
What are isobars
300
Types of air masses are generally identified by these two factors
What are Moisture Content and Temperature
300
The transfer of energy through a vacuum
What is radiation
300
This tool sometimes is made in the image of a rooster and determines the direction of the wind.
What is a wind vane
400
Measures the change in air pressure of the last three hours
What is barometric trend
400
The isobars on a map are very close together, what does this show?
High wind speed
400
Air mass that formed over the Caribbean Sea
What is mT
400
This method of energy transfer is how the sun's energy reaches us
What is radiation
400
This tool spins with the wind in order to determine its speed
What is an anemometer
500
Shown by *** next to the station model
What is heavy snow
500
As the latitude decreases this happens to the temperature
What is increases
500
The four different types of air masses
mT, mP, cT, cP
500
This method of heat transfer is the primary cause of all weather
What is convection
500
The tool which we use to figure out the dew point and the relative humidity
What is a sling psychrometer
