Weather Puzzle

2. A thermodynamic change of state of a system in which there is no transfer of heat or mass (i.e. compression results in warming, expansion in cooling).
3. The visible aggregate of minute water droplets and/or ice particles in the atmosphere above the earth's surface.
6. A local storm produced by cumulonimbus clouds accompanied by lightning and thunder...often containing heavy rain...and sometimes strong winds and hail.
7. A cloud layer that covers most, or all of the sky.
9. A closed isobaric circulation in the atmosphere, with counter-clockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere.
11. A measure of the water vapor content of the air.
12. The statistical collective of weather conditions over a specified period of time (i.e. usually several decades).
14. A violently rotating column of air, pendant from a cumulonimbus cloud observed as a funnel cloud.

1. A sudden brief increase in wind speed.
2. Transport of an atmospheric property solely by the mass motion of the atmosphere.
4. Air in horizontal motion relative to the surface of the earth.
5. In meteorology, atmospheric motions that are predominantly vertical, i.e. usually means upward as opposed to subsidence (downward).
8. The process by which electromagnetic radiation is propagated through free space.
10. All the various visible electrical discharges produced by thunderstorms. It can be cloud to cloud, cloud to ground, or cloud to air.
11. Internal energy. A form of energy transferred between systems by virtue of a difference in temperature.
12. Front The leading edge of a relatively cold air mass.
13. Same as cloud except base of cloud is touching earth's surface.
