A

artificial channel open to waterflow at peak discharge to handle excess volume

137
Q

What is climate?

A

meteorological elements and phenomena averaged over a long period of time for a region of the earth’s surface

138
Q

Climate vs. Weather?

A

Climate= long term variations (30 years) weather= short term variations (a few days to years)

139
Q

how does air overcome gravity

A

Rising air looses energy and becomes cooler. Sinking air gains energy and becomes
warmer

140
Q

What are the characteristics of warm air?

A

Expands in volume (less dense and low pressure), rises, holds more humidity, molecules move more (unstable)

141
Q

What are the characteristics of cold air?

A

Contracts in volume (denser, high pressure) sinks, holds less humidity, molecules move less (more stable)

142
Q

What is wind?

A

Horizontal movement of air from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure

143
Q

What is a cyclone?

A

Counterclockwise surface winds, forms in low P zone, air rising (water vapour condenses into rain and upper level outflow of air)

144
Q

What is an anticyclone?

A

Clockwise surface winds, forms in high p zone, air descending (dry and windy conditions on the ground)

145
Q

What is rain accompanied by?

A

a large release of latent heat

146
Q

What is latent heat?

A

energy absorbed or released during a change of state

147
Q

What is a thunderstorm?

A

Meteorological event associated with a localized storm cell, producing thunder and lightning. Thunderstorms are composed of individual cells developing over 20-30 minutes. As one cell dies another may develop nearby

148
Q

What are the 3 stages of development in a thunderstorm

A

1) cumulus stage
2) mature stage
3) dissipating stage

149
Q

Describe the cumulus stage

A

Thunderstorms occur when warm and moist air is lifted upward. By mechanical lifting (cold, dense air undercuts warm, less dense air. Or bu thermal lifting (warm, less dense air flows up and over cold dense air along a gentle slope)

150
Q

What type of lightning bolts are a danger to people?

A

Cloud to ground/ground to cloud

151
Q

What is a tornado?

A

Funnel cloud coming out of a cumulonimbus and extending toward the ground with air spinning at high speed

152
Q

What type of thunderstorm are most tornadoes associated with?

A

Most tornadoes are associated with supercell thunderstorms

153
Q

What type of clouds are tornadoes produced within?

A

Most tornadoes are produced within cumulonimbus clouds during supercell thunderstorms

154
Q

What are ice storms and freezing rain?

A

precipitation that falls in liquid form and freezes upon contact with the ground or a cold object. Precipitation reaches the ground as a
supercooled liquid. Droplets of liquid water at T<0°C. Creates a thin, smooth veneer of ice (no air bubbles)

155
Q

What are the conditions for the formation of freezing rain?

A

Temperature hovering around T=0°C. Forecasting freezing rain is difficult. A layer of warm air sandwiched between two layers of cold air
