Across
- 3. Most cumuliform clouds form on leading edge of front
- 6. Most clouds found at and behind SFC front
- 7. These stratiform clouds are typical with warm air masses, normally 1000-4000ft thick with bases <2000ft
- 8. Cumuliform clouds lifted thermally, forms near _______ condensation level
- 12. A stable atmosphere create _______ clouds and continuous rain
- 15. Associated with wave cyclones, poleward of warm fronts on unstable waves, andcomma head boundaries and western edge of cusp for mature waves
- 16. Cold frontal clouds beginning to dissipate with the passage of 500mb frontal trough and moves downstream with a 500mb thermal trough
- 17. Generally stratiform clouds form in this front
- 18. Cold frontal clouds beginning to dissipate with the passage of an 850mb upper front and moves downstream with a 700mb frontal trough
Down
- 1. Cold frontal clouds beginning to dissipate with the passage of a 700mb frontal trough and moves downstream with a 500mn frontal trough
- 2. Cloud type is determined by 3 factors: Atmospheric moisture, Temperature/Condensation, and a _____ _________
- 4. continues to thicken and lower into low etage
- 5. Found around well-developed wave cyclones, normally found 700-1000 miles of warm front
- 9. an unstable atmosphere creates _______ clouds and showery rain
- 10. Frequently associated with CB anvils and remains in atmosphere after storm collapses
- 11. Cloud type with 2 forms: warm air or cold air based on temperature of advection
- 13. CB embedded clouds in nimbostratus ______ warm front
- 14. Cumuliform clouds lifted mechanically (frontal or orographic), forms near ______ condensation level
