Anticyclones are areas of high atmospheric pressure that bring hot, dry weather in the summer and cold fronts in the winter.
A line on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure, used to identify high and low-pressure systems.
The lowest level of a given cloud or cloud layer in the atmosphere, relative to the observer's position above the ground.
The state of the atmosphere when it contains the maximum amount of water vapor possible at a given temperature and pressure.
A cold front is the leading edge of a cold air mass that replaces a warmer air mass. It is typically associated with sudden...
The upward movement of air caused by a topographic barrier, such as a mountain, which can lead to cloud formation and precipitation.
