Across
- 4. is created by applying physical principles and mathematics to atmospheric variables and then making a prediction about how the variables will change over time
- 5. results in fluids and objects moving in an apparent curved path rather than a straight line
- 7. measures wind speed
- 9. measures humidity
- 11. wind systems on Earth located between latitudes 30 degrees N and 60 degrees N, and 30 degrees S and 60 degrees S
- 12. lines of equal pressure
- 15. lines of equal temperatures
- 16. short-term variations in atmospheric phenomena that interact and affect the environment and life on Earth
- 18. is based on a comparison of current weather patterns to similar weather patterns from the past
- 19. is a narrow band of fast wind
- 20. measures air pressure
Down
- 1. is the change in pitch or frequency that occurs due to the relative motion of a wave, such as sound or light, as it comes toward or goes away from an observer
- 2. wind zones between 60 degrees N latitude and the North Pole, and 60 degrees S latitude and the South Pole
- 3. an instrument used for gathering upper-atmospheric data
- 6. measures temperature using either the Fahrenheit or Celsius scale
- 7. is a large volume of air that has the same characteristics, such as humidity and temperature
- 8. is a record of weather data for a particular site at a particular time
- 10. two circulation belts of wind located between latitudes 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S
- 13. the area over which the air mass forms
- 14. a narrow region between two air masses of different densities
- 17. is the long-term average of variations in weather for a particular area
