1
global wind system that lies between 30 degrees and 60 degrees north and south latitudes, where surface air moves toward the poles in an easterly direction.
2
weather forecast that uses numerical data to predict how atmospheric variables change over time.
3
global wind systems that lie between latitudes 60 degrees N and 60 degrees S and the poles and is characterized by cold air.
4
effect of a rotating body that influences the motion of any object or fluid.
5
weather forecast that compares current weather patterns to patterns that occurred in the past.
6
change in the wave frequency that occurs due to the relative motion of the wave as it moves toward or away from an observer.
7
record of weather data for a specific place at a specific time, using meteorological symbols.
8
area over which an air mass forms.
9
instrument used to measure temperature using either the Fahrenheit or Celsius scale.
10
weather instrument used to measure wind speed.
11
weather instrument used to measure humidity.
12
two global wind systems that flow between 30 degrees north and south latitudes, where air sinks, warms, and returns to the equator in a westerly direction.
13
balloon-borne weather instrument whose sensors measure air pressure, humidity, temperature, wind speed, and wind direction of the upper atmosphere.
14
two global wind systems that flow between 30 degrees north and south latitudes, where air sinks, warms, and returns to the equator in a westerly direction.
15
weather instrument used to measure air pressure.
16
line on a weather map connecting areas of equal temperature.
17
the long-term average of variation in weather for a particular area.
18
large volume of air that has the characteristics of the area over which it forms.
19
short-term variations in atmosphere phenomena that interact and affect the environment and life on Earth.
20
line on a weather map connecting areas of equal pressure.
21
boundary between two air masses of differing densities; can be cold, warm, stationary, or occluded and can stretch over large areas of Earth's surface.
