Weather for Drones
Across
- 2. Chaotic, irregular air motion
- 4. Ability to see clearly through the atmosphere
- 6. Most important factor for evaluating drone capability
- 10. Boundary commonly associated with thunderstorms and heavy rain
- 13. Rate at which temperature changes with altitude
- 16. Hazard requiring visible moisture and freezing temperatures
- 17. Process that forms clouds, fog, or dew
- 19. Air mass with little vertical motion and poor surface visibility
- 21. Sudden change in wind speed and/or direction
- 22. Altitude that accounts for pressure, temperature, and humidity
- 23. Type of pressure measured at weather stations
- 24. Rapid decrease usually indicates approaching storms
Down
- 1. Amount of water vapor in the air
- 3. Force that keeps an aircraft airborne
- 5. Side of a mountain where dangerous turbulence forms
- 6. How well a propeller performs in given air density
- 7. Air mass characterized by turbulence and vertical air movement
- 8. Condition where temperature increases with height
- 9. Cloud type associated with unstable air
- 11. Atmospheric factor that always changes when crossing a front
- 12. Boundary between two air masses
- 14. Rising air that dominates the building stage of a thunderstorm
- 15. Short-lived downdraft producing strong surface winds
- 18. Atmospheric condition that changes when flying across a front
- 20. Weather requiring moisture, lift, and unstable air
