4. Amount of water vapor in the air
5. intense tropical storm with winds exceeding 119 km/h
8. System- Large body of circulating air with low pressure at its center and higher pressure outside of the system
11. violent whirling column of air in contact with the ground
13. Mass- Large bodies of air that have uniformed temperature, humidity and pressure
15. Pressure- The force that a column of air applies on the air or the surface below
16. Humidity- Amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could contain at the temperature
17. report- describes wind, temperature, and humidity conditions above Earth's surface.
18. System- Large body of circulating air with high pressure at its center and lower pressure outside of the system
19. Boundary in between two air masses

1. water in the liquid or solid form that falls from the atmosphere
2. model- detailed computer programs that solve a set of complex mathematical formulas.
3. radar- Specialized type of radar that can detect precipitation as well as the movement of small particles, which can be used to approximate wind speed.
6. are lines that connect all places on a map where pressure has the same value
7. Cycle- Series of natural process by which water continually moves among oceans, land, and atmosphere
9. report- describes a set of weather measurements made on Earth's surface.
10. Atmospheric conditions, along with short-term changes
12. is a violent winter storm characterized by freezing temperatures, strong winds, and blowing snow
14. Point- Temperature at which air is saturated and condensation can occur
