Review for: The Atmosphere TEST Study the diagrams below. For your test, be prepared to interpret the stages of cyclonic development as well as data pulled from any station model example. Please see your review sheet for further information. Flashcard Template for The Atmosphere Test Cumulonimbus Cumulus cirrus Stratus Maritime tropical Continental tropical Continent polar Maritime polar Thermosphere Mesosphere Ionosphere Troposphere Stratosphere Troposphere What is the correct order of layers Occluded front Warm front Stationary front Cold front Cold air sinks; it is more dense Barometer Anemometer Hygrometer Computer models Satellites Doppler radar Radiosonde Nitrogen and Oxygen Dew point Condensation nuclei Coriolis effect Weather Meteorology Relative humidity High pressure Low pressure High pressure High pressure Low pressure Low pressure HONORS Thunderstorm clouds, puffy dark grey Puffy clouds High altitude, thin feathery clouds, fair weather Low level “blanket” clouds Warm and humid Warm and dry Cold and dry Maritime polar Cold and humid Air temperature in this layer can reach higher than 1000 c The layer between the stratosphere and thermosphere Layer within the thermosphere filled with electrically charged particles. The layer in which most pollution occurs The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ozone layer This layer contains all of the weather Troposphere- Stratosphere – Mesosphere – Thermosphere, exosphere A cold front overtakes a warm front and lifts and traps warm air above the surface An advancing, warm air mass displaces a cold air mass and glides over the top of it Two air masses with similar temperature and pressures meet, and neither advances into the others territory. A cold, dense air mass displaces a warm air mass and forces the warm air to rise steeply When a warm and cold air mass meet’s what happens? Measures air pressure Measures wind speed Measures relative humidity Uses weather data to project upcoming weather conditions Captures visible and infrared (heat) images of clouds Detects precipitation at several heights above the surface Measures temperature, pressure and humidity in the upper atmosphere What are the 2 most common abundant gasses in the atmosphere? The temperature at which condensation occurs Particles of dust around which cloud droplets form The deflection of Earth’s atmosphere due to its rotation Current short term variations in the atmosphere The study of Earth’s air and atmospheric events The amount of moisture in the air at a specific temperature Air rotates clockwise Air rotates counterclockwise Air is sinking through the center of circulation Weather conditions are clear skies with little to no wind Air flow at the surface is toward the center and then upward Weather conditions are cloudy, windy and precipitation is likely CFC’s (chloroflurocarbons) came from aerosols, foams, old refrigerators, or air conditioners. Fluorine reacts with O3 to produce O2. Less incoming solar radiation is filtered in the stratosphere. Crops are destroyed. Humans have more skin cancer and cataracts.
