100
A type of front that occurs when colder air advances toward warm air. The cold air then wedges under and lifts the warm air.
What is Cold Front
100
Violent, whirling wind storm that crosses land in a narrow path, and can result from wind sheers inside a thunderhead.
What is Tornado
100
Something that influences a result
What is Factor
100
Measure of amount of moisture held in the air, compared to the amount it can hold at a given temperature.
What is Barometer
100
Temperature at which air saturated and condensation forms.
What is Dew Point
200
A front formed when lighter, warmer air advances over heavier, colder air.
What is Warm Front
200
Large storm that forms over tropical oceans, has high winds, and looses power when it reaches land.
What is Hurricane
200
Lines on a weather map that connects points with equal atmospheric pressure, also indicates high-and-low-pressure areas.
What is Isobar
200
Indicates weather conditions at a specific location, using a combination of symbols on a map.
What is Station model
200
Water falling from clouds-including rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Whose form is determined by air temperature.
What is Precipitation
300
A type of front that occurs when a boundary between air masses stop advancing, and may stay in the same position for several days.
What is Stationary Front
300
Winter storm that lasts at least 3 hours with low temperatures low visibility and high winds.
What is Blizzard
300
Large body of air that has the same characteristics of temperature and moisture content as the part of Earth's surface over which it formed.
What is Air Mass
300
Study's weather and uses information from; radars,satellites,& computers to provide a forecast.
What is meteorologist
400
A front that involves three air masses.
What is Occluded Front
400
State of atmosphere at a specific time and place, determined by factors.
What is weather
400
A measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the amount needed for saturation at a specific temperature.
What is Relative Humidity
400
To predict a condition or event on the bias of observations.
What is Forecast
500
A boundary between two air masses with different temperatures, density, or moisture's.
What is Fronts
500
A stratus cloud that is formed when air is cooled to its dew point near the ground
What is Fog
500
Amount of water vapor held in the air.
What is Humidity
500
