- 9. an instrument for measuring the speed of the wind, or of any current of gas
- 11. a balloon equipped with meteorological apparatus which is sent into the atmosphere to provide information about the weather
- 12. a condition of the atmosphere in which the pressure is below average
- 17. a body of air with horizontally uniform temperature, humidity, and pressure
- 18. A zone separating two air masses, of which the cooler, denser mass is advancing and replacing the warmer
