  1. 6. an instrument measuring atmospheric pressure, used especially in weather forecasting
  2. 7. As air moves along the ground it absorbs heat, loses density and moves up into the atmosphere. ... In this process the warm air is cooled; it gains density and falls towards the earth and the cell repeats the cycle
  3. 8. a device for collecting and measuring the amount of rain which falls
  4. 14. weather system associated with rising air moving inward, usually brings rainy weather
  5. 15. the amount of water vapor in the air
  6. 17. low-level clouds characterized by horizontal layering
  7. 18. the weather conditions in an area in general or over a long period of time
  8. 19. an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature
  9. 22. winds that blow consistently in a given direction over a particular region on Earth
  10. 23. an instrument for measuring the speed of the wind
  11. 24. clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance
Down
  1. 1. A .... forms when a warm air mass runs into a slower cold air mass. The warm air slides over the cold air.
  2. 2. an instrument for measuring the humidity of the air
  3. 3. measurement that indicates how hot or cold something is
  4. 4. when a cold air mass collides and slides under a warm air mass, the resulting ...... may produce thunderstorms
  5. 5. weather system associated with sinking air moving outward, usually brings fair weather
  6. 7. the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water and forming clouds
  7. 9. the force of air pressing down on an area
  8. 10. rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground
  9. 11. instrument for showing the direction of the wind
  10. 12. a large body of air with generally uniform temperature and humidity
  11. 13. change of water from a liquid to a gas
  12. 16. the condition of the atmosphere in one area at a particular time
  13. 20. state of the atmosphere at a particular place during a short period of time
  14. 21. A balloon used to carry instruments aloft to gather meteorological data in the atmosphere
