What is an Anemometer?

1. The increased cooling that a wind can cause.

Local winds are defined as...

During the day, land heats up faster than water causing air over the land to rise and expand. Denser ocean air moves into the area of low pressure producing a sea breeze

At night, when land cools faster than water, warm air rises over the ocean, and cooler air flows in.

Winds that blow steadily from specific directions over long distances.

What is the Coriolis Effect?

A calm area where warm air rises and they occur near the equator.

Two  calm areas of sinking air.  It occurs in 30 degrees North and South latitudes

Blow cold air away from the poles from East to West.

Blow from the West to the East away from the Horse Latitudes.

Blow front the Horse Latitudes towards the equator.

1. distance from the equator, measured in degrees.

Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the surface of the Earth.

A generally calm and clear weather system that occurs when air sinks down in a high-pressure center and spreads out toward areas of lower pressure as it nears the ground.

A large and often stormy weather system that occurs when air moves around and into a low-pressure center, then moves up to higher altitudes.

Narrow bands of strong wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere are called____
