weather forecast
Instruments used to record weather
weather vs Sever weather
barometer
vacuum chamber inside the barometer witch responds to changes in the atmospheric pressure
barograph records atmospheric pressure
isobars
lines used on whether maps used to display atmospheric pressure
wind cloud and precipitation
temperature
degrees Celsius - thermometer
maximum and minimum thermometer
precipitation
rain gauge - mm
water cycle
precipitation
surface run off - is the water witch runs above the ground instead of filtering thorough
ground water
evaporation
transpiration
plants release water vapor into the atmosphere
condensation
types of rain fall
relief rain
convectional rain - occurs during warm wether i.e. thonder storms
frontal rain - occurs when warm air meats a cold front.
clouds = ice crystals in the atmosphere
stratus = Lage heavy gray clouds
cumulus = bellow 5000 meter's
cirrus = above 8000 meter's tin and wispy
okta scale - estimate in terms of how Manny eighths of the sky are covered in clouds
wind speed and direction
Wind Vane = indicate the direction of the wind
speed or strength of wind is measured using an anemometer measured in kmph
wind is created when the sun warms air in the atmosphere so the heated air begins to rise and to cold air takes its place
saver whether is a whether event that is significantly different from the usual whether an area experiences it puts people and property in danger
tropical storms = these are huge storms that develop in the tropics
tropical storms form over tropical oceans during late summer and early autem they need heat and moist air
it crats an area of low pressures the winds rotate anty clockwise water is drown up from the oceans storm develops an eye in the middle
