Across
- 2. mass- a large volume of air that has the charastics of the area over which it forms
- 3. weather instrument used to measure humidity
- 5. winds- two global wind systems that flow between 30 degrees north and south latitudes, where air sinks, warms, and returns to the equator in a westerly direction
- 6. stream- narrow wind band that occurs above large temperature contrats and can flow as fast as 185 km/h
- 7. boundary between two air masses of differing densities, can be cold, warm, stationary, or occluded and can stretch over large areas of earth surface
- 9. model- record of weather data for a specific time, using meteorological symbols
- 11. effect- change in the wave frequency that occurs due to the relative motion of the wave as it moves towards or away from the observer
- 12. the long- term average of variation in weather for a particular area
- 13. weather instrument used to measure wind speed
- 14. on a weather map connecting areas of equal pressure
- 15. effect- effect on a rotating body that influences the motion of any object or fluid, on earth, air moving north or south from the equator appears to move right or left, respectively, the combination of the coriolis effect and earths heat imbalance creates the trade winds, polar eastwinds, and prevailing westerlies.
Down
- 1. an instrument used to measure air pressure
- 4. short term variations in the atmosphere phenomena that interact and affect the environment and life on earth
- 8. instrument used to measure temperature using either the fahrenheit or celsius scale
- 10. line on a weather map connecting areas of equal pressure
