MEMETEOROLOGY: THE ATMOSPHERE Flashcards
This layer of the atmosphere is found to be high-temperature region and the temperature decreases along with altitude
TROPOSPHERE
It is a condition of the atmosphere where air particles tend to resist upward vertical motion.
STABLE
These refer to changes in temperature that occur without the exchange of heat with the surrounding environment.
ADIABATIC
It is the study of the earth’s atmosphere.
METEOROLOGY
Auroras can be seen in this specific layer of the atmosphere.
IONOSPHERE
The significance of this region is the presence of an ozone layer.
STRATOSPHERE
It is the ability of the atmosphere to retain its position.
ATMOSPHERIC STABILITY
It is the weather pattern typical for an area over a long period of time.
CLIMATE
It is an instrument used to measure the moisture content in the air.
HYGROMETER
It is an instrument used to measure wind speed.
ANEMOMETER
It is a special kind of cloud seen at the lower part of the second layer of the atmosphere.
NACROSE
A very thin layer of air is present in this layer of the atmosphere.
EXOSPHERE
This is commonly portrayed as a three- dimensional cube or sphere.
AIR PARCEL
It is a type of adiabatic process where an air parcel descends in the atmosphere.
ADIABATIC WARMING
It is a condition of the atmosphere where vertical motion of air parcels is encouraged.
UNSTABLE
