Weather Vocabulary Harmison by Jenna Harmison

Barometer

24oliviamccully — 2016-11-21 19:18:28 UTC

a science tool that messrs atmospheric pressure.

hygrometer

24blakemarsh — 2016-11-21 19:19:05 UTC

A hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the moisture content in the atmosphere. Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantity such as temperature, pressure, mass or a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed and decides if it is going to rain or snow.

Thermometer

24mackinseynichols — 2016-11-21 19:19:43 UTC

A thermometer is a tool that tells you the temperature of something. If it;s cold or hot.They are also used to tell you how hot it is outside or how cold it is outside

Wind vane, Status cloud- wind vane means

Air Pressure, Evaporation

24arianaatkinson — 2016-11-21 19:19:49 UTC

It is the weight of the atmosphere coming down on earth. It is measured by barometers which in units it is called millibars. Moat barometers use Mercury like a thermometer, to measure the change of air pressure. When the weather is calm mercury moves more than half-an-inch below the 30-inch mark. If there is a high pressure system then normally there are cooler temperatures and clear sky's. Evaporation is when a hot liquid like boiling comes off of the surface. Like in boiling water the hotter the stove gets more water evaporates which creates steam.

Water Cycle

24levicrow — 2016-11-21 19:20:10 UTC

Water Cycle is when water turns into gas which is condensation then forms into a cloud after that it lets out the water or ice which is precipitation then the ice melts then turns back into water so water cycle is everywhere.

warm front

24taelynpainter — 2016-11-21 19:20:13 UTC

A warm front is where a warm air were mass is pushing into colder air mass.Warm fronts move slower than cold fronts because it is more difficult for warm air to move against the cold dense air.

Air pressure map

24jordanchristiansen — 2016-11-21 19:20:58 UTC

An map of of the weather like what you see on Ky3 and other weather channels it will also tell you about a cold or hot wind currents.

continental tropical

24christianmcclain — 2016-11-21 19:21:59 UTC

Continental tropical is a millimeter-wavelength of anvil clouds.

maritime

24alaynachristiansen — 2016-11-21 19:22:02 UTC

Maritime is related to the sea. It is useful for navigating and shipping on sea. Maritime is trading close to the sea and is shipping things over sea for trading

cold front + runoff

24juliaworthley — 2016-11-21 19:22:16 UTC

The cold front is were the cold air takes over and replacing the warm air. The "Runoff", is where any type of water melted like snow, rain and other things flow across the land.

alto stratus cloud Alto stratus is a middle altitude cloud genus belonging to the strati form physical category characterized by a generally uniform gray to bluish-green and sheet or layer. anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and is a common weather station instrument.

24claytonpruitt — 2016-11-21 19:22:31 UTC

rain Gauge

24armandomartinez — 2016-11-21 19:23:13 UTC

Wind Vane , Status cloud- Wind vane means a device that helps you know what way the wind is moving. Status cloud means. Low clouds leveled by a uniform base.

24patriciabrooks — 2016-11-21 19:23:15 UTC

Air Mass

24ianlynch — 2016-11-21 19:23:58 UTC

An air mass is a large volume of air in the atmosphere.

Continental tropical

24deasonsellers — 2016-11-21 19:23:59 UTC

The source region for cT air is the desert Southwest, the high plains and Mexico with relation to the United States.

continental polar air mas

2016-11-21 19:24:00 UTC

A continental polar air mass is an air mass that is both cold and dry. The reason for this is that the source of the air mass is a continental region

stratocumulous cloud

24oliviamccully — 2016-11-21 19:26:22 UTC

clouds that generally low and lumpy. There color is from the range of dark gray to light gray.

cumulonimbus cloud

24alaynachristiansen — 2016-11-21 19:26:37 UTC

A cumulonimbus cloud is a cloud that produces lighting. They need warm and humid conditions to form. A more simple name is thunder cloud for their form that looks like a mushroom.

transpiration

2016-11-21 19:26:50 UTC

Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evap from aerial parts,such as leaves, stems and flowers

Sattellite Map

24ashleybyrd — 2016-11-21 19:26:52 UTC

Used to plot things to show accurate weather

Cirrus cloud

24mackinseynichols — 2016-11-21 19:27:24 UTC

Cirrus clouds are clouds that are high in the air and thin clouds

24lilybirdwell — 2016-11-21 19:27:38 UTC

Tells you if it is hot or cold. This is sum things you may see 56 Dgress feren hite.

front with weather

24brooklynbarbre — 2016-11-21 19:33:09 UTC

fonts

24brooklynbarbre — 2016-11-21 19:54:48 UTC

fronts are zones of transition between two different air masses the zone may be 20 miles across or 100 miles across.

High Pressure System

24briannagonzalez — 2016-11-23 20:56:50 UTC

A high pressure system is mass of cool, dry air that brings fair weather and light winds. If you look at it from above, winds spiral out of a high-pressure center in a clockwise way.

Precipitation

24briannagonzalez — 2016-11-23 21:02:07 UTC

Precipitation is the process when rain, snow, hail, and sleet fall to the ground
