12. the side of an island obstructed from trade winds by a mountain
14. can be used to estimate climate
16. the amount of solar radiation reflected
17. winds coming from the ocean
20. the earth has gotten —- in recent decades.
22. surface with the highest albedo

1. farthest layer of atmosphere
2. radiation which has more energy, but can’t travel as far
4. Percent of solar Radiation reflected by earth
6. weather pattern associated with flooding
8. are the leading cause of climate change
10. the most potent greenhouse gas
13. the earth’s solar radiation is balanced and all radiation absorbed is released eventually.
15. an average and typical measure of the several factors including temperature,precipitation and others
18. aka black carbon, a pollutant contributing to climate change
19. ———- colors tend to have a lower albedo
21. caused the hole in the ozone
