Define Wien's Law - The hotter an object, the shorter the wavelength at maximum emission. (The
hotter the object the brighter)
After a cold front passes what happens to dew point? - it drops, as cold air is typically dry
Centripetal force wind - right angles to the wind, in towards the center of curvature ex. hurricanes
Convection is the process that? - involves mixing in a fluid
Coriolis effect - The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
Define a category five hurricane - 137kts or greater of wind
Define a category four hurricane - 113-136kts of wind
Define a category one hurricane - 64-82 Kts of wind
Define a category three hurricane - 96-112kts of wind
Define a category two hurricane - 83-95kts of wind
Define absolute humidity - The amount of water vapor in the air
Define conduction - The transfer kinetic of energy from particle to particle.
Define convection - The transfer of heat via vertical movement of air
,Define electromagnetic spectrum - the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which
electromagnetic radiation extends.
Define Mixing Ratio of humidity - Mass of water vapor/mass of dry air
Define Planck's law - Every object emits radiation at all times and at all wavelengths.
Define radiation - the emission and transmission of energy through particles or waves
According to Wein's law where does peak emission occur? - At infrared wavelengths
Define radiation transmission - When radiation passes through an object virtually unaffected
Define relative humidity - difference between condensation and evaporation
Define specific humidity - Amount of water vapor actually in the air
Define thermal conductivity - The ability of an object to transfer heat
Describe "Ekman Transport" in the oceans - Wind causes friction on the water and moves it
Describe a Bimetallic Thermometer - different types of metals are welded together, these metals
expand or retract at different temperatures
Describe a cold conveyor belt - westward transport of cool moist air north of the warm front
Describe a cold front - leading edge of an advancing cold air mass
, Describe a dry conveyor belt - dry air sinking in from great altitudes, that wraps around a mature
low pressure
Describe a stationary front - cold air neither advancing or retreating
Describe a strengthening high pressure system - Upper level convergence exceeds lower level
divergence
Describe a strengthening low pressure system - Upper level divergence exceeds lower level
convergence
Describe a warm conveyor belt - transports warm moist air northward
Describe a warm front - where the cold air mass is retreating
Describe a weakening high pressure system - Lower level divergence exceeds upper level
convergence
Describe a weakening low pressure system - Lower level convergence exceeds upper level
divergence
Describe an occluded front - A faster-moving cold air mass over-takes a slower-moving warm air
mass and forces the warm air up
Describe freezing rain - supercooled raindrops that freeze on contact
Describe neutrally stable air - air than doesnt easy move
Describe orographic lifting - Cloud formation that occurs when warm moist air is forced to rise up
the side of a mountain
