Idk Flashcards
pressure exerted by air: a : atmospheric pressure
Air Pressure
monthly average temperatures of 18 °C (64.4 °F) or higher
Tropical
a system of measuring temperature where water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
Celsius
Mostly, cumulus indicates fair weather, often popping up on bright sunny days
Cumulas clouds
Cirrus (cloud classification symbol: Ci) is a genus of atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands
Curris clouds
an instrument for determining temperature
Thermometer
tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained surface winds (one-minute average) of 38 mph (33 knots) or less.
Tropical deporession
the steady flow of surface ocean water in a prevailing direction.
Ocean current
the temperature the air needs to be cooled to (at constant pressure) in order to achieve a relative humidity (RH) of 100%.
Dew point
a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean
Hurricane
areas that receive very little precipitation
Desert
a tropical storm in the region of the Indian or western Pacific oceans
Typhoon
a quantity representing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or in a gas
Humididty
a prediction or estimate of future events, especially coming weather or a financial trend.
Forecast
the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet
Atmosphere
pellets of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds
Hail
a storm with thunder and lightning and typically also heavy rain or hail.
Thunderstorm
a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.
Cloud
rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground
Precipitation
a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water
Drought
a boundary between two air masses
Front
the science dealing with the atmosphere and its phenomena, including both weather and climate.
Meteorology
the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid when cooled
Freezing point
a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system
Tornado
associated with extreme weather such as heavy torrential downpours, hail storms, lightning and even tornadoes
Cumulonimbus Cloud
a loud rumbling or crashing noise heard after a lightning flash due to the expansion of rapidly heated air.
Thunder
the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
Weather
a rotating column of water and spray formed by a whirlwind occurring over the sea or other body of water.
Waterspout
an instrument measuring atmospheric pressure, used especially in forecasting the weather and determining altitude.
Barometer
a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and other pollutants.
Global warming
the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch
Temperature
an indicator of weather.
Barometric Pressure
a rotating funnel-shaped cloud forming the core of a tornado or waterspout.
Funnel cloud
the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.
Climate
