Air mass

is very large Mass of air with nearly uniform properties of temperature, humidity, and pressure

atmospheric pressure

The pressure exerted by air on its Surroundings due to the weight of Air

conduction

thermal energy transfer between two objects or substances that are in direct contact

convection

Thermal energy transferred by the movement of heated material from one place to another

dew point

The temperature at which air saturated with water vapour so that it condenses and follows as precipitation

Front

A zone that develops as a result of the meaning of two air masses with different characteristics

Heat sink

any substance that can absorb and retain energy without changing state.

Humidity

the amount of water vapour in the air

Radiation

thermal energy transfer in which atoms or molecules give off energy as electromagnetic waves

weather

The physical conditions of the atmosphere at a specific time and place

Anthropogenic greenhouse affect

a process in which human-produced greenhouse gases in earths atmosphere absorb heat energy from the sun and earths surface

Climate

The pattern of weather conditions in a region over a long period of time

Long-range forecast

weather forecast that predicts how weather conditions will change over a period of 3 to 7 days

Remote sensing technology

Technology that collects Weather data from a distance without actually being in physical contact with the object being observed

short-range forecast

A weather forecast that predicts how weather conditions will change over a period of up to 48 hours

weather forecasting

The process of predicting future weather based on ongoing observations of atmospheric conditions

weather radar

Remote sensing technology that measures whether data by analyzing radio waves that are reflected off objects in the atmosphere

climate change

A change in the weather conditions that I reach an experiences over a long period of time

Coriolis effect

I changed in the direction of moving air, water, or any objects on earths surface due to earth rotation

doppler radar

A type of weather radar that is used to determine speed and direction of a weather system

Jet stream

A narrow band of fast moving wind

great ocean conveyer belt

A massive system of deep water currents, resulting from differences of temperature And salinity In the water

High - pressure system

A region where air is descending and thus Exerting more pressure on the region below

Low-pressure system

A region where rising air is leaving less dense air below

Prevailing

The usual direction from which a wind blows

Now casting

A weather forecast that creates forecast weather up to about six hours

persistence Forecast

A weather forecast that assumes that current weather patterns will continue into the future
