As lower layers of air are warmed, the air __________________. ______________ ____________ - an air mass that originates in the Pacific or Atlantic and brings cold, moist air. ________ _________________ - a large body of air where moisture content and temperature are similar. _____________ ___________ - an air mass that originates in the US southwest and brings warm, dry air. Continental polar, maritime polar, continental tropical, and maritime tropical are the main types of __________ ___________________. ________ ___________ - an air mass that originates in the Pacific or Atlantic that brings warm moist air. _____________ _________________ - an air mass responsible for cool, dry air in the northern summers. A _____________________ is issued when severe weather has been sighted. ____________________________, ___________________________, and ____________________________ are the thunderstorm stages. The ______________________________________ thunderstorm stage is when precipitation begins to fall. ________________________________- lines on a weather map that connect points of equal temperature. ____________________________- weather event that brings dry weather as air sinks and flows outward from a center of high pressure. _________________________ __________________ - a pattern of meteorological symbols that represent weather at a particular station. A station model shows symbols that represent ________________________ temperature, dew point, and wind speed but not ________________________ weather. Symbols H and L on a weather map indicate _____________ ____________________ _________________. When weather conditions are ideal for severe weather, a ________________________________ is issued. Scientists have tried to control several aspects of weather through _________________ ______________ which helps produce precipitation. Seeding clouds to reduce ____________________ and _____________________ have shown little success. ___________________ ___________________ - a storm resulting from a bend in a cold front which starts creating an area of low pressure with rotating winds. Scientists use ___________________ and ___________________ to convey information on a weather map. Weather centers all over the world __________________ the information they collect with other centers. _________ _________ _________- an organization that promotes rapid exchange of weather information. ____________________ __________________ ___________________ - the US weather forecasting agency. _____________ _________________ - the temperature to which air must cool in order for more water to condense than to evaporate. ________________________________________ - lines that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure. isobars exchange isotherms cumulus warning station model hurricanes cloud seeding dew point rises air masses dissipating anticyclone watch current isotherms World Weather Watch National Weather Service continental polar continental tropical symbols midlatitude cyclone air pressure centers maritime polar air mass mature maritime tropical colors lightening predicted
