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
