When wind suddenly changes direction and speed this is called __________.
Storms found in the northwest Pacific and that are tracked by the Japan Meteorological Society are called __________.
Microbursts and macrobursts are two types of __________, which is another type of damage done by thunderstorms.
Severe, long-lasting thunderstorms, sometimes called __________, can have updrafts of 70 mph (112.6 km/hr) that can carry hail.
Storms found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, occur in the Southern Hemisphere (south of the Equator), and therefore rotate clockwise are called __________.
In the middle of a tropical cyclone is an area of sinking air that is known as the __________ of the storm.
__________ are tropical low-pressure systems that rotate in the same direction as the Earth.
Created when spawn funnels of circulating air connect the cumulonimbus cloud with the ground
When a tropical depression picks up more moisture and begins to have sustained winds greater than 38 mph, they are classified as __________.
Storms found in the Atlantic and northeast Pacific which are low-pressure and have winds of 74 mph or greater are called __________
The low-pressure system causes winds coming from the NE to bring down the cold, maritime polar air to converge with the warm air coming from the gulf stream in the Atlantic ocean. This convergence brings with it large amounts of precipitation in the form of the severe rain or snow.
In the __________ the cumulonimbus cloud has an equal amount of air rising in the updrafts as it is sinking in the downdrafts; lightning, heavy rain, hail, strong winds, and tornados can occur.
Low-pressure cyclonic system that has winds in excess of 35 mph. It also has to have a temp. less than -19.4F and the wind must blow so hard it reduces visibility.
The winds blow over the lakes from the west. As they blow across the lakes, they pick up moisture. When the wind blows towards the land, it condenses into clouds and releases precipitation
An increase in pressure leads to an increase in____________________.
On a station model, if there is a clear sky, what is the weather symbol?
How many hours of daylight are there across the globe on the equinox?
In a station model for pressure what do you do when the beginning number is <5?
What is the angle of the sun "on the horizon?"
What is the angle of the sun directly overhead (and the most intense)?
