Across
- 4. A sudden, powerful downdraft associated with thunderstorms and wind shear
- 6. The temperature at which air becomes saturated and condensation begins
- 8. The atmospheric layer above the troposphere with stable air and little weather
- 11. A cloud type associated with rising air and possible turbulence
- 12. The effect that causes moving air to curve due to Earth's rotation
- 14. The lowest layer of the atmosphere where most weather occurs
- 15. A temperature increase with altitude, trapping pollutants and affecting stability
Down
- 1. The property of the atmosphere that resists or promotes vertical motion
- 2. A line on a weather chart connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure
- 3. A high-altitude, fast-moving wind current affecting weather and flight planning
- 5. The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking, driving weather patterns
- 7. A cloud that forms at the surface due to cooling or added moisture
- 9. The layer of gases surrounding Earth that affects weather and flight conditions
- 10. The amount of water vapor present in the air
- 13. A boundary between two air masses with different temperatures and humidity
