• b. sun --> consumers --> producers

• c. consumers --> sun --> producers

• d. sun --> producers --> consumers

Anemometer

• a large body of air in the troposphere with similar characteristics of pressure, moisture, and temperature

• the amount of difference in air pressure over a specific distance; the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the speed of wind

• a weather instrument used to measure wind speed

• the weight overlying atmosphere pushing down on a given unit of area

Air Mass

• a large body of air in the troposphere with similar characteristics of pressure, moisture, and temperature

• the amount of difference in air pressure over a specific distance; the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the speed of wind

• a weather instrument used to measure wind speed

• the weight overlying atmosphere pushing down on a given unit of area

Atmospheric Transparency

• how transparent the atmosphere is to insolation; how easily insolation can pass through the air

• an instrument used to measure air pressure

• the fraction or percent of the total sky at a location that is covered by clouds

• the boundary of an advancing cold air mass and a warmer air mass, where the underlying cold air pushes forward like a wedge
