Down: 1) A precess by which the earth returns solar energy to space; some of the shortwave solar energy that is absorbed into the land and water is returned to the atmosphere in the form of longwave terestrial readiation.2) is a description of typical weather conditions in an area or palce over a period of time.3) The process of returning to outer space some of the earth's received insolation.4) A hurricane occurring in the western Pacific Ocean region.7) The lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.8) The temperature at which condensation forms, if the air is cooled sufficiently.9) A large body of air with little horizontal variation in temperature,pressure, and humidity.10) The circulatory movement of rising warm air and descending cool air.12) The rain or snow caused when warm, moisture-taden air is forces to rise over hills or mountains in its path and is thereby cooled.13) A severe tropical cyclone with winds exceeding 120 kilometers per hour (75 mph) originating in the tropical region of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico.14) A rise in surface temperatures on Earth, a process believed by some to be caused by human activities that increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, magnifying the greenhouse effect.15) Airflow from the sea toward the land, resulting from a daytime pressure gradient that moves winds from the coller sea surface onto the warmer land surface.16) A regional climate found on the west coast of continents in upper midlatitudes, rainy all seasons with relatively cool summers and relatively mild winters.18) The condition caused by rapid reradiation in which air at lover altitudes is cooler than air aloft.20) The treeless area lying between the tree line of Arctic regions and the permanently ice-covered zone.21) The periodic (every 3 to 7 or 8 years) buildup of warm water along the west coast of South America; replacing the cold Humboldt current off the Peruvian coast, El Nino is associated with both a fall in plankton levels (and decreased fish supply) and short-term, widespread weather modification.23) In climatology, the slowing of wind movement due to the frictional drag of the earth's surface.29) A ficitious force used to describe motion relative to a rotating earth; specifically, the force that tends to defect a moving object or fluid to the right (clockwise) in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left (counterclockwise) in the Southern Hemisphere.34) A wind system that reverses direction seasonally, producing wet and dry seasons; especially describes the wind system of South, Southeast, and East Asia.38) Treeless midlatitude grassland. Across: 5) Airflow from the land toward the sea, resulting froma nighttime pressure gradient that moves winds fromthe coller land surface to the warmer sea surface.6) temperature, wind and precipitation are recorded at specified moments in time, inventory of weather conditions can be developed.11) A heavey snowstorm accompied by high winds.17) Rain produced when heated, moisture-laden air rises and then cools below the dew point.19) A meandering belt of strong winds in the upper atmosphere; significant becasue it guides the movement of weather systems.22) A climate of east coast and continental interiors of midlatitudes, displaying large annual temperature ranges resulting from cold winters and hot summers; precipitation at all seasons.24) The flow of air up mountain slopes during the day.25) The line or zone of separation between two air masses of different temperatures and humidities.26) A tropical grassland characterized by widely dispersed trees and experiencing pronounced yearly wet and dry season.27) The weight of the atmosphere as measured at a point on the earth's surface.28) A measure of the moisture content of the air, expressed as the amount of water vapor present relative to the maximum that can exist at the current temperature.30) Differences in air pressure between areas that induce air to flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.31) The downward flow of heavy, cool air at night from mountainsides to lower valley locations.32) The rate of change of temperature with altitude in the troposhere; the average lapse rate is about 6.4 degrees C per 1000 meters (3.5 degrees C per 1000 ft).33) Solar radiation received at the earth's surface.35) The massive movement of warm water in the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico in a north-easterly direction to the British Isles and the Scandinavian peninsula.36) A type of atmospheric disturbance in which masses of air circulate rapidly about a region of low atmospheric pressure.37) All moisture, solid and liquid, that falls to the earth's surface from the atmosphere.39) The rain or snow that is produced when moist air of one air mass is forced to rise over the edge of another air mass.40) The tree cover composed of tall, high-crowned evergreen deciduous species, assicated with the continuously wet tropical lowlands.41) A small, violent storm characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud of whirling winds that can form beneath42) In climatology, a large area of uniform surface and relatively consistent temperatures where an air mass forms.43) The heating of the earth's surface as shortwave solar energy passes through the atmosphere, which is transparent to it but opaque to reradiated longwave terrestrial energy.
