What is Climatology?

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

A large body of air having similar horizontal temperature and moisture characteristics.

The jet stream forming the boundary between tropical air and sub-tropical air, characterized by isothermal compression and...

The mass of air surrounding the earth and bound to it more or less permanently by the earth's gravitational attraction.

A bomb cyclone is a large mid-latitude storm that forms when a storm’s central pressure drops (i.e. “bombs out”), resulting...

Convection is the vertical movement of air caused by temperature differences, where warm air rises and cool air sinks. It...

A rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground, capable of causing significant damage.

A low-pressure area with converging winds, rotating counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern...
