Across
  1. 3. an episodic weather pattern occurring ever 3 to 7 years in which the trade winds slacken in the Pacific Ocean and warm water accumulates off the coast of South America and causes unusual rains and heavy snowfall in the Andes
  2. 5. an intense discharge of electricity that occurs when the buildup of static electricity overwhelms the insulating properties of air
  3. 6. wispy clouds that look like hair blowing in the wind or feathers floating across the sky
  4. 8. narrow bands of high altitude fast moving wind
  5. 11. Horizontally layered sheet-like clouds
  6. 14. Process where cool dense air slides under a warm air mass forcing the warm air upward
  7. 15. a condition in which water droplets in air do not freeze even when the air cools below freezing point
  8. 16. moisture that is condensed onto objects from the atmosphere when the ground and leaf surfaces become cooler than the surrounding air
  9. 19. a cloud that forms at or very close to ground level
  10. 20. forms when cold air collides with stationary or slower-moving warm air
  11. 22. drops of rain that freeze and fall as small spheres of ice
  12. 25. a small intense short-lived funnel shaped storm that protrudes from the base of a cumulonumbus cloud
  13. 27. forms when moving warm air collides with a stationary or slower moving cold air mass
  14. 29. ice crystals formed directly from vapor when the dew point is below freezing
  15. 30. a low-pressure region with its accompanying system of inwardly directed rotating winds
  16. 31. lifting of air that occurs when air flows over a mountain
  17. 32. a cloud that precipitates
  18. 34. abnormally high coastal waters and flooding, created by a combination of strong onshore winds and the low atmospheric pressure of a storm that raises the sea surface by several meters
  19. 35. A broad circular storm with intense low pressure that forms over warm oceans
Down
  1. 1. Fluffy white clouds that typically display flat bottoms and billowy tops
  2. 2. lines on the weather map connecting points of equal air pressure
  3. 4. consists of ice in concentric shells like layers of an onion
  4. 7. Temperature at which the relative humidity of air reaches 100 percent and the air becomes saturated
  5. 9. a condition in which a solution contains as much solute as can be dissolved at a given temperature
  6. 10. When particles land on sub freezing surfaces as a coat of ice
  7. 12. a condition in which a solution contains more solute than a saturated solution will hold at a given temperature
  8. 13. when the temperature near the ground is below freezing the crystals fall and are frozen
  9. 17. the boundary between a warmer air mass and a cooler one
  10. 18. a seasonal wind and weather system caused by uneven heating and cooling of continents and adjacent oceans
  11. 21. Precipitation that forms very large ice globules
  12. 23. a tropical storm occurring in the western Pacific Ocean whose wind exceeds 120 kilometers
  13. 24. a tropical storm occuring in North America or the Caribbean whose wind exceeds 120 kilometers per hour
  14. 26. high pressure region with its accompanying system of outwardly directed rotating winds that develop where descending air spreads over Earth's Surface
  15. 28. a front at the boundary between two stationary air masses of different temperatures
  16. 33. The amount of water vapor in air
