Hailstones
________ are droplets that go through lots of updrafts and downdrafts.
Convectional Lifting
________- The air above warmer surface is heated and rises (over a parking lot)
Thunderstorms
________ tend to form along cold fronts because cold air lifts the warm air causing a lot of condensation and latent heat release.
Updrafts
________ draw more water vapor into the cloud, Downdrafts cause the precipitation and winds at the surface.
Cyclone
Midlatitude ________: Migrating low pressure cells that move in a band with the westerlies.
Windward
________= Up the Mountain, forms clouds because it gets colder and reaches dew point temperature.
Low pressure center
________: air converges and ascends, causing cooling and condensation.
Chinook Winds
________- Downslope winds on the leeside.
Warm front
________: Warm air moves up and over cold air.
Cold air forces
________ warm air aloft, creating cumulonimbus clouds.
Thunderstorms
________ are powered by the latent heat of condensation.
Moisture
m = maritime (relative moist), c = continental (relatively dry)
Temperature
A = Arctic, Polar, Tropical, Equatorial, AAntarctic
Chinook Winds
Downslope winds on the leeside
Frontal Lifting
Cold air front runs into warm air, lifting the warm air off the ground./
Cold front
Steep face that hugs the ground
Warm front
Warm air moves up and over cold air
Midlatitude Cyclone
Migrating low pressure cells that move in a band with the westerlies
Necessary data
Pressure, air temperature, dew point temperature, wind speed/direction, cloud type, etc
