climate and weather

2. systems have more air pressure than their surroundings
4. This is the percent of water vapor in the air relative to the total amount the air can hold
7. Systems that have less pressure are called
11. clouds that form high in the troposphere
12. is the science dealing with the atmosphere
13. water vapor condenses as ice crystals but they melt in warmer air in the atmosphere and then refreeze closer to the ground as small ice pellets
14. is the state of the atmosphere
15. shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere
17. The temperature at which water vapor condenses is called the
18. is used to measure humidity.
20. forms in thunderstorms when strong updrafts carry rain high into the troposphere
21. measures the amount of rainfall over a specified period of time.
22. a weather radar is used to locate precipitation

1. This instrument is used to measure wind speed.
3. This is used to measure temperature
5. is a large body of air that has about the same conditions throughout
6. clouds that occur low in the troposphere
8. is all weather conditions for a particular location averaged over a long period of time.
9. measures the amount of air pressure in the air
10. is the amount of water vapor in the air.
13. water vapor condenses as ice crystals and the temperature remains below freezing as it falls to the ground
14. contains many instruments
16. water droplets that fall when the temperature is above freezing
19. clouds that are white and puffy form in the troposphere
