Across
- 2. the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in an air-water mixture to the saturated vapor pressure of water at a prescribed temperature
- 6. The effect that large ocean bodies have on the climate of locations or regions
- 7. the most important factor affecting temperature
- 8. defined based on the context in which it is used (aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, and more
- 10. An increase in the natural process of the greenhouse effect, brought about by human activities
- 12. a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame
- 13. winds that blow predominantly from a single general direction over a particular point on the Earth's surface.
- 14. the temperature at which saturation occurs
- 15. average temperature recorded in a year
- 16. caused when masses of air pushed by wind are forced up the side of elevated land formations, such as large mountains.
- 17. where are the thermometers placed to measure temperature?
- 18. is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth
- 20. occurs from convective clouds, e.g., cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus.
Down
- 1. the fraction of the sky obscured by clouds when observed from a particular location.
- 3. the weather can be described in terms of six elements called
- 4. emitted by the earth is absorbed by greenhouse gases
- 5. temperature is measured using a
- 9. the southwest monsoon takes place between
- 11. difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded in a day
- 19. traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation,[1] but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.
