|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latent heat | show 🗑
|
||||
| Evaporation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Phase change where water vapor changes back into liquid water through condensation; energy released to surrounding air; molecules move slowly and are closer together
🗑
|
||||
| show | Process where living plants release water vapor into atmosphere
🗑
|
||||
| Humidity | show 🗑
|
||||
| Humidity measured | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Measures film’s ability to store electricity
🗑
|
||||
| Psychrometer | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Ceramic cylinders w/ electrodes attached; treated w/ lithium chloride LiCl; water from air absorbed by LiCl increases dew cell’s ability to conduct electricity by detecting electrical resistance of LiCl as heated and cooled; dew cell determines DEW POINT
🗑
|
||||
| When air cooled below dew point | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | water molecules collect on condensation nuclei; droplets form; for cloud to form—rate of evaporation = rate of condensation (equilibrium); temps of saturated air drops and condensation happens faster than evaporation
🗑
|
||||
| Adiabatic cooling | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Rate at which temperature of a parcel of air changes as air rises or sinks
🗑
|
||||
| show | Collection of small water droplets and ice crystals suspended in air
🗑
|
||||
| show | Solid particle in atmosphere that provides surface for water vapor to condense
🗑
|
||||
| Precipitation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Water vapor that has condensed very near the surface of Earth cool ground
🗑
|
||||
| Rain | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Smaller raindrops 0.5 mm
🗑
|
||||
| show | Most common form of solid precipitation; small pellets , ice crystals or combined snowflakes
🗑
|
||||
| Sleet | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Rain that does not freeze until it strikes a surface near ground
🗑
|
||||
| Hail | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Most clouds: droplets start at 20 mm (smaller than . at end of sentence);Increases by about 100 times to fall as precipitation;2 natural processes cause cloud droplets to grow large enough to fall Coalescence & super cooling
🗑
|
||||
| Coalescence | show 🗑
|
||||
| Super cooling | show 🗑
|
||||
| Rain gauge | show 🗑
|
||||
| Measuring stick | show 🗑
|
||||
| Melting snow in container | show 🗑
|
||||
| Doppler Radar | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cloud seeding | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Altitude at which net condensation begins
🗑
|
||||
| Mixing | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Rising air expands & cools; clouds form; forced upward movement of air commonly results in cooling of air & cloud formation. Air forced upward; moving mass of air meets mountain range as air cools & expands; cloud forms
🗑
|
||||
| show | By shape & altitude: Stratus; Cumulus; Cirrus
🗑
|
||||
| show | Low level, billowy cloud; resembles cotton balls; “piled” or “heaped”; warm moist air rises and cools
🗑
|
||||
| show | Feathery, composed of ice crystals; highest altitude
🗑
|
||||
| show | Gray cloud; flat, uniform base; very low altitudes
🗑
|
||||
| Nimbo/nimbus | show 🗑
|
||||
| Altitudes of clouds | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Cause heavy precipitation
🗑
|
||||
| Alto stratus | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | High, dark storm clouds; rain, thunder & lightning
🗑
|
||||
| show | Middle clouds
🗑
|
||||
| Cirro | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cirronimbus | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Water vapor that has condensed near surface
🗑
|
||||
| show | Layer of air in contact with ground; chilled below dew point
🗑
|
||||
| show | Warm, moist air moves across cold surface
🗑
|
||||
| Upslope fog | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Shallow layer of fog that forms when cool air moves over an inland warm body of water such as a river
🗑
