The branch of science that deals with the physical and biological properties and phenomena of
the sea.
Describes the atmospheric conditions at a specific place at a specific point in time.
The layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth’s gravity.
The term " " typically refers to the electromagnetic waves that the sun emits, including
infrared light, visible light, and ultraviolet light.
Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level.
It is the measurement of the degree through which an object can be observed over a certain
distance.
Instrument use for measuring temperature.
It is the amount of water vapor that is present in the atmosphere at any specific time.
It refers to the movement of air in the Earth's atmosphere
Air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, and the greater the difference in
pressure, the stronger the wind.
What is the instrument used to measure wind speed?
What is the instrument used to measure wind direction?
It is the wind experienced by an observer in motion and is the relative velocity of the wind
in relation to the observer.
A measurement of the amount of kinetic energy present in the air, which manifests itself
physically through the experience of heat or cold.
It is the result of the pressure created by the weight of the air in the Earth's atmosphere.
Instrument use for measuring atmospheric pressure.
The scales typically used to measure temperature.
The uppermost region of Earth's atmosphere as it gradually fades into the vacuum of space.
It is also known as depressions or storms, are areas of low atmospheric pressure where air rises
and cools, leading to cloud formation and precipitation.
These are large-scale atmospheric conditions that are characterized by particular weather patterns
and conditions, such as temperature, wind, pressure, and precipitation.
This is known as the lower atmosphere almost all weather occurs in this region.
Instrument use for measuring wind speed.
What is the boundary between two different air masses, such as a warm air mass and a cold air
mass.
This is the process by which plants release water vapor into the air through their leaves.
These clouds typically form at the ground level up to an altitude of about 6,000 feet in the
sky.
These are flat, featureless clouds that form in layers close to the ground or sea surface.
These are white or gray clouds that often appear as rounded masses or patches.
An aerosol consisting of a visible mass of miniature liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other
particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body or similar space.
The process by which water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere fall to the ground.
This occurs during thunderstorms when strong updrafts lift water droplets high into the
atmosphere where they freeze, then fall to the ground as hailstones.
This is the most common type of precipitation and occurs when water droplets fall from clouds
and reach the ground.
This occurs when snowflakes partially melt as they fall through a layer of warm air, then
refreeze before reaching the ground.
It is the measurement of the degree through which an object can be observed over a certain
distance.
A formation of fog that forms when warm, moist air moves over a cool surface, causing the air
to cool and the moisture to condense into fog.
A type of air pollution that reduces visibility and creates a whitish or bluish-gray
appearance in the air.
A type of low-lying cloud that forms when water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water
droplets, resulting in reduced visibility on the ground.
Also known as steam fog, forms when cold air moves over a warm water surface, such as a lake
or river.
This method of estimating visibility involves using weather instruments such as
barometers, hygrometers, and thermometers to measure atmospheric conditions.
This formation of fog forms when warm, moist air is forced to rise over a cooler surface, such
as a hill or mountain.
It refers to areas in the Earth's atmosphere where the air pressure is different from the
surrounding areas.
These systems are associated with sinking air, which leads to clear skies, dry conditions, and
stable weather.
Who first described Ferrel Cell in the 19th century.
A small-scale wind system that occur over relatively small areas, such as cities, valleys, and
mountain slopes.
It is a larger-scale wind system that occur over broader regions, often driven by large- scale
atmospheric circulation patterns, such as the global wind belts or regional pressure systems.
A theoretical concept used in meteorology to describe the motion of air in the
atmosphere.
A phenomenon that describes the deflection of objects, including air and water, that are moving
on the surface of the rotating Earth.
It is a principle in meteorology that describes the relationship between wind direction and air
pressure.
The process by which a cyclone or low-pressure system forms and intensifies.
