Across
  1. 1. Meteorological symbols pattern representing a particular observing stations weather and is recorded on map of weather.
  2. 6. A atmospheric pressure measuring instrument.
  3. 8. an increase of Earth’s atmosphere’s general temperature Because of carbon dioxide’s increased levels, chlorofluorocarbons, and more pollutants. It is thought to be attributed to the greenhouse effect.
  4. 9. Air temperature in an area is usually greater than that of rural surrounding area.
  5. 10. A water dome where a hurricane lands and sweeps across the coast.
  6. 12. Winds that are prevailing blow between 60-90 degrees latitude east to west in both hemisphere.
  7. 15. To a human body an estimate of how cold the air feels.
  8. 23. Winds that are prevailing and blow from 30 degrees south latitude to the equator and 30 degrees north latitude to the equator.
  9. 24. Comparison of weather patterns that are current to those that are in the past.
  10. 26. A wind speed measuring instrument.
  11. 28. Air rises as Earths surface is heated unequally in a single air mass.
  12. 29. Dense thunderstorms around hurricane’s eye it’s like a wall.
  13. 30. A very large body of air with a similar humidity pressure and temperature at any height.
  14. 32. Climate that differs a lot in the small area compared to area around.
  15. 37. Balloons carry a package of instruments to measure temperature dew point and wind velocity in the upper atmosphere.
  16. 40. Causes moving water and air to turn right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere due to Earth's hemisphere.
  17. 42. A temperature measuring instrument.
  18. 45. A relatively large and uniform area where an air mass forms.
  19. 46. Orographic lifting causes air mass to rise air moves up mountain side.
  20. 47. A scale using wind speed and damage caused to determine how severe a tornado is.
  21. 48. A boundary in which unlike air masses don’t mix but they meet.
  22. 50. When carbon dioxide water vapor methane and other gases retain heat in Earth’s atmosphere as a natural situation
  23. 51. Numerical data is used in a weather forecast to figure out how change over time occurs in atmospheric variables.
  24. 52. A discharge initially of electrons that intermittently goes toward the ground using a series of steps in a lightning stroke cloud-to-ground.
Down
  1. 2. Low sunspot activity period between 1645-1716 it corresponded with an episode that was small with cold climate known as the “Little Ice Age”.
  2. 3. An air stream with high altitude and speed blowing near the top of the troposphere from west to east.
  3. 4. The frequency change of a light or sound wave as source moves in relation to observer.
  4. 5. Downdrafts that are sudden & violent it is concentrated in a area that is local and has winds above 70mph
  5. 7. dry weather for a long period.
  6. 11. A storm with high winds spiraling around the center which is calm. Where they form is what determines whether they're called hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones.
  7. 13. A line connecting same temperature points at time or average over period. This is shown on a map.
  8. 14. An ocean current that is warm flowing along Peru’s coast every 7-14 years.
  9. 16. A line connecting same atmospheric pressure points at time or average over long period of time this is shown on a map.
  10. 17. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are each of the 4 divisions of the year. Weather patterns and daylight hours helps determine these seasons due to the changing position of Earth to the Sun.
  11. 18. At a certain time and place the condition of Earth’s atmosphere.
  12. 19. South regions of Antarctic Circle and north of Arctic circle. These areas get the least amount of year round direct sunlight.
  13. 20. Thermal energy is stored and released in water and land differently, this causes local air mass thunderstorms.
  14. 21. When part of the surface of the planet was under massive ice sheets. In this period the temperatures were incredibly cold.
  15. 22. An advancing cold and sometimes warm front produces a thunderstorm.
  16. 25. Lower than normal temperatures for an extended period.
  17. 27. Latitudes between the Arctic Circle in the north and the tropics and the Antarctic Circle in the south; milder climates regions than the tropics or polar regions.
  18. 31. A thunderstorm that is violent and can cause tornadoes to spawn.
  19. 33. Over a long period of time the average weather in a given area.
  20. 34. A air and gas humidity measuring instrument.
  21. 35. Positive charge's upward flow.
  22. 36. Earth’s climate and factors affecting future present and past climates study.
  23. 38. The center of the cyclone that has calm weather and blue sky. It has an area of 4-40 miles.
  24. 39. Area between Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer.
  25. 41. A funnel shaped cloud that touches Earth's surface it is rapidly whirling.
  26. 43. uses wind speed potential property damage and air pressure in the center to classify hurricanes.
