4. air That portion of the atmosphere that is not modified by local influence.
5. mass; A homogenous mass of air, the properties of which can be identified as having been established while the air was situated over a particular region of the earth's surface.
6. wind An upslope wind usually applied only when the wind is blowing up hill or mountain as the result of local surface heating, and apart from the effects of the larger scale circulation.
10. In meteorology, a line of constant height on a constant pressure surface map
12. A Transport of an atmospheric property solely by the mass motion of the atmosphere.
13. front The leading edge of a relatively cold air mass

1. layer The layer of air from the earth's surface to the geostrophic wind level or level of free wind.
2. point The temperature to which a parcel of air must be cooled to reach saturation
3. index A lower atmospheric stability and dryness index that can be one predictor of large fire growth due to plume dominated fires.
7. The visible aggregate of minute water droplets and/or ice particles in the atmosphere above the earths's surface.
8. wind A wind directed down a slope caused by greater air density near the slope than at the same height at a distance from the slope. (Also called drainage or downslope wind).
9. stream Relatively strong winds concentrated within a narrow stream in the atmosphere.
11. trough A low pressure trough formed on the lee side of a mountain range across which the wind is blowing at nearly right angles.
13. Absence of apparent motion of the a
