What is Climatology?

Jet streams are strong, fast-flowing air currents in the upper levels of the atmosphere. They form when warm air masses meet...

The percentage of water vapor in the air relative to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a given temperature.

A mass of very cold, dry air that mostly originates over the Arctic Ocean.

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air cools and changes into liquid water. This process is crucial...

A strong wind typically ranging from 34 to 40 knots (39 to 46 miles per hour) and often associated with rough seas and stormy...

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

Condensation pressure deficit refers to the difference between the actual vapor pressure and the saturation vapor pressure...

Bright and dark rays with changing colors and contrast in the sky. These rays become visible due to the reflection of atmospheric...

A line of severe thunderstorms that can form along or ahead of a cold front, often producing strong winds and heavy rain.

A weather front formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, lifting the warm air off the ground and resulting in a mix...
