Across
- 3. the long term average of variation in weather for a particular area.
- 6. instrument used to measure air pressure.
- 8. effect of a rotating body that influences the motion of any object or fluid; on Earth, air moving north or south from the equator appears to move right or left, respectively; the combination of the Coriolis effect and earth's heat imbalance creates the trade winds, polar easterlies,and prevailing westerlies.
- 11. record of weather data for a specific place at a specific time, using meteorological symbols
- 13. instrument used to measure temperature using either the Fahrenheit or Celsius scale
- 14. change in the wave frequency that occurs due to the relative motion of the wave as it moves toward or away from an observer
- 15. weather instrument used to measure wind speed
Down
- 1. two global wind systems that flow between 30 degrees north and south latitudes, where air sinks,warm,and returns to the equator in a westerly direction.
- 2. weather instrument used to measure humidity
- 4. line weather map connecting areas of equal pressure
- 5. narrow wind band that occurs above large temperature contracts and can flow as fast as 185 km/h.
- 7. short-term variations in atmosphere phenomena that interact and affect the environment and life on earth.
- 9. line on a weather map connecting areas of equal temperature.
- 10. large volume of air that has the characteristics of area over which it forms.
- 12. boundary between two air masses of differing densities can be cold, warm, stationary, or occluded and can stretch over large areas of Earth's surface.
