  Adiabatic Temperature Changing andExpansion and Cooling. • Temperature changes happen even though heat is not added or subtracted is adiabatic temperature. • The first type of adiabatic is dry adiabatic, this is the cooling or heating of unsaturated air • The second type is wet adiabatic, this is the cooling of saturated air and it moves slower than dry adiabatic. • http://strangepaths.com/en/
• 3.
  Orographic Lifting • Thisoccurs when mountains act as barriers to air flow, forcing the air to ascend. • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File: Orographic_lifting_of_the_air_- _NOAA.jpg
• 4.
  Frontal Wedging!!!! • Thearea between warm and cold air is a front. • A process that occurs at a front, dense air act like a road block. • Less dense air rises. • http://www.geo.hunter.cuny.edu/ ~tbw/wc.notes/4.moisture.atm.st ability/frontal_wedging.htm
• 5.
  Convergence • The uprising of air that results from the air in the lower atmosphere flowing together is Convergence • warm days, air flows from the ocean to the land along both coast of Florida • commons.wikimedia.org
• 6.
  Localized Convective Lifting • Unequal heating of earths surface warms a section of air that lowers the air density • http://www.richhoffmanclass.co m/chapter4.html
• 7.
  Stability (Density Differnces & Syability and DAILY Weather • Stable air stays in its position, when unstable air rises. • Temperatures Conversion happens when air increases with height. • http://ocw.usu.edu/Forest__Rang e__and_Wildlife_Sciences/Wildla nd_Fire_Management_and_Plann ing/Unit_7__Atmospheric_Stabilit y_and_Instability_1.html
• 8.
  Condensation • The airmust be fully saturated to form any kind of condensation. • Types of condensation is weather dew, fog, or clouds. • http://www.kidsgeo.com/geograp hy-for-kids/0107- condensation.php
• 9.
  Types of clouds •Clouds are described by their height and formed. • There are different types of clouds • Cirrus , Cumulus and Stratus. • http://www.weatherquestions.co m/What_kinds_of_clouds_are_th ere.htm
• 10.
  High Clouds • Highclouds are often made up of ice crystals, they are thin and white as well. • They are formed by low tempertaures, small amount of water vapor up high. • http://eo.ucar.edu/kids/sky/cloud s3.htm
• 11.
  Middle Clouds • Cloudsappear to 2000- 6000meters from ground. • These Clouds put a blanket like across the sky that looks whiteish grey. • http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/fl tenv3.htm
• 12.
  Low Clouds • Lowclouds cover a lot of the sky, kinda like fog. • Low Clouds form from air rising up. • Nimbostratus,Stratocumulus and stratus clouds are all types of low clouds. • http://www.atmos.illinois.edu/ea rths_atmosphere/clouds.html
• 13.
  Clouds of Vertical Development. • Not all clouds fit in high low or middle clouds. • Some clouds can form under the proper circumstance. • http://www.free-online-private- pilot-ground- school.com/Aviation-Weather- Principles.html
• 14.
  Fog • There isnothing different from a fog and a cloud, the only difference is the method and place of formation. • Fog is formed by radiation cooling. • Fog is clouds that touch to the ground. • http://www.naturalhazards.org/h azards/fog/index.html
• 15.
  Cold Cloud Precipitation(Bergeron process) • Bergeron Process is a theory that relates the formation of precipitation to supercooled clouds, Freezing nuclei • Water is supercooled when it is below 0°C • http://www.richhoffmanclass. com/chapter5.html
• 16.
  Warm Cloud Precipitation (collision-coalescence process) • Supersaturated is with ice is greater than 100 percent relative humidity. • Rain drop formation in warm clouds is a theory called Colluision- coalescence. • https://www.meted.ucar.edu/sign_i n.php?go_back_to=http%253A%252 F%252Fwww.meted.ucar.edu%252F tropical%252Ftextbook_2nd_edition %252Fnavmenu.php%253Ftab%253 D6%2526page%253D3.0.0

  Rain & Snow. •Drops of water that fall from the sky is called rain. • When the temperature gets really cold the rain froze to a 6-sided ice crystal called snowflakes. http://zahiym5tlc.edublogs.org/
• 18.
  Sleet, Glaze andHail • Clear particles that fall from the sky is sleet. • Glaze is when frozen rain falls to the ground. • Hailstorms begin as ice pallets falling from the sky. • http://www.kidsgeo.com/geograp hy-for-kids/0118-freezing- rain.php
