Synoptic Weather Vocabulary Station Model: This model gives a summary of weather observations in a coded format. Synoptic Weather Map: A weather map that is a summary of various weather variables. Isobars: These isolines connect equal values of pressure. Air Mass: Huge body of air with uniform temperature and moisture levels. Continental Arctic: This air mass originates in central Canada. Continental Tropical: An air mass that originates in Texas. Maritime Polar: An air mass originates NE of New York in the cold Atlantic Ocean. Maritime Tropical: An air mass that originates in the Gulf of Mexico. Fronts: A boundary between two air masses. Cold Front: This occurs when cold air digs under warm air causing it to rise creating a large cumulonimbus clouds and strong thunderstorms. Warm Front: This type of front is associated with persistent but light rain for a long period of time and has predictable sequence of clouds. Stationary Front: This type of front does not move and separates warm and cold air. Occluded Front: This type of front occurs when a cold front overtakes a warm front and is usually associated with the worst part of the storm. Cyclone: The winds around this low pressure system are convergent and move in a counterclockwise motion. Anticyclone: The winds around this high pressure system are clockwise and divergent. Mid-Latitude Cyclone: A low pressure that moves across the middle of the country, it usually last three to four days.
