  4. 7. how the water moves, and if it is hot or cold
  5. 9. the boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
  6. 12. the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
  7. 13. a collection of air masses, neither of which is strong enough to replace the other.
  8. 15. a current in a fluid that results from convection.

  1. 1. an instument measuring atmospheric pressure
  2. 2. whirling mass of cold dry air, generally brings fair weather
  3. 3. the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
  4. 4. Water movement which extends to depths of 3-10 feet (1-3 meters) below the surface in nearshore areas, and to about 33 feet (10 meters) in deep-ocean areas.
  5. 8. a whirling mass of warm, moist air that generally brings stormy weather with strong winds
  6. 10. a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific that occurs at irregular intervals and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less extensive and damaging in their effects
