Temperature The measure of the amount of thermal energy in the atmosphere. Air Pressure Due to the weight of the air and is determined by different factors including: temperature of air. Measured with a barometer. Front Types of clouds The boundary between air masses different temperature and humidity. 2 types of fronts: cold and warm of cirrus stratus cumulus cumulo-nimbus Cumulus Clouds Fluffy and white with flat bottoms. Indicate fair weather. Cumulo-nimbus Large, fluffy, and dark on the bottom. Were formerly cumulus clouds May produce thunderstorms Stratus Clouds Smooth, gray clouds that cover the whole sky Blocks out direct sunlight Usually bring light rain and drizzle Cirrus Clouds Feathery clouds. Usually bring fair weather Often indicate rain or snow within a few hours. Weather SOL 4.6 Types of storms created by extreme atmospheric conditions.
