Across
- 2. the temperature at or near a surface
- 9. the conversion of a vapor or gas to a liquid
- 10. energy that is transferred by electromagnetic radiation
- 11. having or involving a low or below-normal pressure, as steam or water
- 12. the apparent deflection (Coriolis acceleration ) of a body in motion with respect to the earth, as seen by an observer on the earth, attributed to a fictitious force (Coriolis force ) but actually caused by the rotation of the earth and appearing as a deflection to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and a deflection to the left in the Southern Hemisphere
- 13. a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect
- 19. process by which an element or compound transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below the temperature at which it boils
- 20. the zone separating two air masses, of which the cooler, denser mass is advancing and replacing the warmer
- 21. having or involving a pressure above the normal
- 22. a body of air covering a relatively wide area, exhibiting approximately uniform properties through any horizontal section
- 23. strong, generally westerly winds concentrated in a relatively narrow and shallow stream in the upper troposphere of the earth
Down
- 1. a tropical cyclone of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, or eastern Pacific Ocean, having sustained wind speeds of at least 64 knots (74 miles per hour, 33 meters per second): hurricanes form in waters with surface temperatures of about 80°F (27°C), intensifying as temperatures rise
- 3. energy the energy that is generated and measured by heat
- 4. a front between warm and cold air masses that is moving very slowly or not at all
- 5. a composite front formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front and forces it aloft
- 6. a transition zone between a mass of warm air and the colder air it is replacing
- 7. the force exerted by air, whether compressed or unconfined, on any surface in contact with it
- 8. a warm ocean current flowing N from the Gulf of Mexico, along the E coast of the U.S., to an area off the SE coast of Newfoundland, where it becomes the western terminus of the North Atlantic Current
- 14. the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas
- 15. the gaseous envelope surrounding the earth; the air
- 16. energy the light and heat that come from the sun
- 17. displays various meteorological features across a particular area at a particular point in time and has various symbols which all have specific meanings like H and L
- 18. Air that is constantly moving around the earth
