- 11. report- describes wind, temperature, and humidity conditions above Earth's surface.
- 13. model- detailed computer programs that solve a set of complex mathematical formulas.
- 16. are lines that connect all places on a map where pressure has the same value
- 17. Humidity- Amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air could contain at the temperature
- 18. Boundary in between two air masses
