Hailstones

________ are droplets that go through lots of updrafts and downdrafts.

New cards
2

Convectional Lifting

________- The air above warmer surface is heated and rises (over a parking lot)

New cards
3

Thunderstorms

________ tend to form along cold fronts because cold air lifts the warm air causing a lot of condensation and latent heat release.

New cards
4

Updrafts

________ draw more water vapor into the cloud, Downdrafts cause the precipitation and winds at the surface.

New cards
5

Cyclone

Midlatitude ________: Migrating low pressure cells that move in a band with the westerlies.

New cards
6

Windward

________= Up the Mountain, forms clouds because it gets colder and reaches dew point temperature.

New cards
7

Low pressure center

________: air converges and ascends, causing cooling and condensation.

New cards
8

Chinook Winds

________- Downslope winds on the leeside.

New cards
9

Warm front

________: Warm air moves up and over cold air.

Cold front

Steep face that hugs the ground

New cards
17

Warm front

Warm air moves up and over cold air

New cards
18

Midlatitude Cyclone

Migrating low pressure cells that move in a band with the westerlies

New cards
19
