Study Notes
Weather Basics
- Weather refers to the temporary and local conditions of the atmosphere at a specific place and time.
- It is a combination of temperature, humidity, cloudiness, wind, and precipitation.
Weather Elements
- Temperature: measured in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F), it is the warmth or coolness of the air.
- Humidity: the amount of moisture in the air, measured as a percentage.
- Cloudiness: the amount of cloud cover, classified as clear, cloudy, or overcast.
- Wind: the movement of air, measured in speed (km/h or mph) and direction.
- Precipitation: water that falls to the ground, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
Weather Patterns
- High Pressure: an area of high atmospheric pressure, associated with fair weather and clear skies.
- Low Pressure: an area of low atmospheric pressure, associated with poor weather and precipitation.
- Fronts: boundaries between different air masses, causing changes in weather:
- Cold Front: a cold air mass moves into a warm air mass, bringing rain and cooler temperatures.
- Warm Front: a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass, bringing rain and warmer temperatures.
- Stationary Front: a front that remains stationary, causing prolonged weather patterns.
Weather Forecasting
- Observation: collecting data on current weather conditions using instruments and satellites.
- Prediction: using computer models and algorithms to forecast future weather patterns.
- Forecasting Tools: using tools such as radar, satellites, and weather stations to predict weather patterns.
Weather Extremes
- Thunderstorms: severe weather characterized by thunder, lightning, and heavy rain.
- Tornadoes: rotating columns of air that touch the ground, causing damage and destruction.
- Hurricanes: large, rotating storms that form over warm ocean waters, causing heavy rain and strong winds.
- Blizzards: severe snowstorms with high winds and low visibility.
Weather Basics
