Across
  1. 3. Lines on a map joining places that have the same air pressure.
  2. 5. cloud puffy , white clouds that tend to have flat bottoms, usually indicate fair weather
  3. 6. humidity ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air to the actual amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation at a given temperature
  4. 9. A scientist who studies weather and tries to predict it.
  5. 10. the flash of light that accompanies an electric discharge in the atmosphere (or something resembling such a flash) from opposite charges
  6. 11. measuring instrument for measuring temperature
  7. 12. A violent disturbance in the atmosphere.
  8. 13. a gauge for recording the speed and direction of wind
  9. 14. an instrument that measures atmospheric pressure
  10. 18. Floods Sudden, violent floods that occur shortly after a storm.
  11. 20. rotation of air around a high pressure center in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation
  12. 21. A funnel shaped cloud that touches Earth's 3. surface.
  13. 22. A long-lasting storm that starts over the warm surface of the ocean and has winds of 119 km or higher.
  14. 23. clouds thin, feathery white clouds which format high altitudes
  15. 24. Front When a warm air mass overtakes a cold air mass.
  16. 25. Short term fluctuations (days, weeks) in temperature, precipitation, and humidity resulting from rapidly forming and decaying weather systems
  17. 26. Front When a rapidly moving cold air mass overtakes a slow-moving warm air mass.
  18. 27. clouds Clouds that form in layers. Stratus clouds cover large areas and usually block out the sun.
Down
  1. 1. Clouds that form in layers. Stratus clouds cover large areas and usually block out the sun.

  7. 15. a booming or crashing noise caused by air expanding along the path of a bolt of lightning
  8. 16. Lines on a map joining places with the same temperature.
  9. 17. Front Where a warm air mass is caught between two cooler air masses.
  10. 18. The boundary where unlike air masses meet but do not easily mix.
  11. 19. mass a large body of air where temperature and moisture content are constant throughout
  12. 22. The amount of water vapor in the air
