Across
- 3. change in the wave frequency that occurs due to the relative motion of the wave as it moves towards or away from the observer
- 4. boundary between two air masses of differing densities, can be cold, warm, stationary, or occluded and can stretch over large areas of earth surface
- 6. instrument used to measure temperature using either the fahrenheit or celsius scale
- 7. weather instrument used to measure humidity
- 9. 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.
- 11. 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
- 13. weather instrument used to measure wind speed
- 14. the long- term average of variation in weather for a particular area
Down
- 1. line on a weather map connecting areas of equal pressure
- 2. short term variations in the atmosphere phenomena that interact and affect the environment and life on earth
- 5. record of weather data for a specific time, using meteorological symbols
- 8. an instrument used to measure air pressure
- 10. narrow wind band that occurs above large temperature contrats and can flow as fast as 185 km/h
- 12. line on a weather map connecting areas of equal pressure
- 13. a large volume of air that has the charastics of the area over which it forms
