Across
- 5. A horizontal wind resultant of the balance of the Coriolis acceleration and the horizontal pressure force.
- 7. Instrument designed to measure the speed of the wind.
- 9. Net horizontal inflow of air into a layer. If at the surface, vertical motion results. Associated with low pressure systems.
- 10. A weather term implying no precipitation and no extreme conditions of clouds, visibility or wind.
- 11. A period of moisture deficiency, extensive in space and time.
- 12. The chance that a prescribed event will occur.
- 14. Of, pertaining to, or caused by mountains.
- 15. Any or all the forms of water particles, liquid or solid, that fall from the atmosphere and reach the ground.
Down
- 1. The pressure exerted by the air as a result of gravity. It is measured by the barometer, and expressed in millibars or inches of mercury.
- 2. An instrument that records temperature and relative humidity as a function of time.
- 3. The process by which electromagnetic radiation is propagated through free space.
- 4. An instrument used for measuring the water vapor content of the air.
- 6. The physical process by which a vapor becomes a liquid.
- 8. closed circulation of the atmosphere, of relative high pressure. (clockwise flow in the northern hemisphere).
- 13. A homogenous mass of air, the properties of which can be identified as having been established while the air was situated over a particular region of the earth's surface.
