They use these tools to measure atmospheric conditions that occurred in the past and present, and they apply this information to create educated guesses about the future weather. And apply this information to what we think will happen in the future. Meteorologists use the scientific method on a daily – and even hourly – basis!

Meteorologists use many different tools for different purposes. Most people are familiar with thermometers, barometers, and anemometers for measuring temperature, air pressure, and wind speed, respectively. Meteorologists use other tools, as well. For example, weather balloons are special balloons that have a weather pack on them that measures temperature, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction in all the layers of the troposphere.

Meteorologists also use satellites to observe cloud patterns around the world, and radar is used to measure precipitation. All of this data is then plugged into super computers, which use numerical forecast equations to create forecast models of the atmosphere. These forecast models can be both correct and incorrect, so meteorologists must be careful and determine whether they agree with the model or not. If the meteorologists disagree with the model, then they must determine a different outlook for their forecast.

On the other side of the mountain the weather is dry, and hot, and there is a lot less vegetation.

In valleys they record record heat, and record cold temperatures, because of high elevations, and low points, it allows air to fluctuate.
I'd rather live in the mountains, because its better than experiencing record temps. I'd also rather live on the mountains, because you'd get rain, and snow. Also in the mountains you could farm, and live easier than living in a valley. In addition in the valley, you experience record cold temperatures in the winter, and record heat in the summer.

On the other side of the mountain it will be more dry and windy.

I would rather live on the side with more vegetation because I think I could grow crops in a little garden and I couldn't on the side of no vegetation.

Trade Winds - constant easterly winds that are mainly in the tropics and sub tropics throughout the world blowing north east to south east

Horse Latitudes - the latitudes about 30 degrees N and S forming the edges of the trade - wind belt, usually by high atmospheric pressure with calm, and light winds.

Prevailing Westerlies - the west to east winds that occur in the temperature zones of the earth

Polar Easterlies -  dry cold prevailing winds that blow from the high pressure areas of the high pressure areas of the polar highs at the north and south poles towards low pressure areas within the westerlies at high latitudes.

Coriolis Effect - the apparent deflection (Coriolis acceleration) of a body in motion with respect to the earth, as seen by an observer on the earth, attributed to a fictitious force (Coriolis force) but actually caused by the rotation of the earth and appearing as a deflection to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and a deflection to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Currents rise as warm waters move north carrying heat. As the cold waters go south, and get heated by the warm waters. Then the sun generates waves in the ocean. Sun evaporates water, once evaporated salt will come out of the water before it evaporates once salt is out it sinks, fresh water, becomes salt water.

Water heats slower than land, so it needs more energy to be heated. But soil on land loses it's heat a lot faster, so it is also cool. Oceans across Earth heat the land, because oceans are 2/3 of the Earth, and oceans hold more heat, and absorb it. So oceans hold heat longer than land does.

All the oceans have a pattern where they rotate in a circle. The South Pacific moves in a circle while North Pacific moves all over the place. It could be affected by the movement of the water going up, or the water has to go up by the land.

In St. Louis the average high in may is 77 degrees, with 8 days of rain. And in Ankara the average temp in may is 72 degrees with 50 mm of rain. http://www.holiday-weather.com/ankara/averages/

The closer you are to the equator, the warmer the temperature will be. The farther away from the equator you are, the cooler it will be. Based on the temperature similarities they are on the same latitude lines, or close to the same latitude lines.

Elevation of Denver: 1,609.3 meters
Elevation of St. Louis: 466'
Elevation of Ankara: 3,077'
