Any form of water - liquid or solid - that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, including rain, snow, sleet,...

The lowest level of a given cloud or cloud layer in the atmosphere, relative to the observer's position above the ground.

The heating of the Earth by the sun causes daily changes in both the direction and speed of the wind. During the day, ground...

A drainage wind that flows downhill due to gravity, often associated with cold air descending from elevated regions.

The branch of science dealing with the laws of motion of air or other gases.

A condition in which the stratification of the atmosphere depends on both air temperature and pressure, and where surfaces...
