    Study Notes

    Weather Study Basics

    • The study of weather is known as Meteorology, which encompasses various atmospheric phenomena and forecasting methods.

    Instruments for Measuring Weather

    • Anemometer is the instrument that measures wind speed, allowing meteorologists to quantify the movement of air in the atmosphere.
    • Barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, which is crucial for predicting weather changes and understanding pressure systems.

    Air Mass Boundaries

    • The boundary between two air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels is called a Front. Fronts can significantly influence weather conditions, including precipitation and temperature changes.
    • Cold Front and Warm Front are types of fronts, with distinct characteristics related to their temperature and humidity interactions.
