*Vocab: Transatlantic Transcontinental Barometric pressure Air masses Fronts Maritime Continental Wind Shifts Visual flight rules Stratiform Cold front Cirriform Squall line Stationary front Occluded front Terrain Orographic lift Windward Leeward Rain Shadow AS Chapter 2 Lesson 2 *Need to know: P-polar T- tropical C- continental Maritime- water Arctic- cold Cold warm stationary and occluded – types of fronts source region – determines type of air mass (ie. Maritime Tropical (warm moist)) Cold fronts create more dramatic wind shift Leeward away from wind (Colorado Springs is on the leeward side of the Rockies) 1: How long do source regions generally maintain their temperature and moisture levels? 2: The four types of fronts include all of the following EXCEPT 3: A/an ______ air mass sometimes produces low stratus clouds and fog. 4: Winters can chill and dry out a warm, moist (mT) air mass drifting north over land from the subtropics. 5: _______ is the result of having a low-pressure area next to a higher-pressure area because air molecules in the higher-pressure zone will migrate to the low-pressure area’s "roomier" 6: What can pilots who have a good understanding of high- and lowpressure wind patterns take advantage of? 7: What types of clouds will you continue to see dominating the sky during passage of a cold front? 8: What comes about when the air ahead of the warm front is colder than the cold front? 9: The shape of the land can force air masses in new directions. 10: What does a mountain’s leeward side tend to have less of than its moist windward side?
