Meteorology Warm Ups
October 1, 2012
If I were a meteorologist I would study natural disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. Just last weekend, there were a couple of earthquakes in the DFW area. I would gather more info about these natural disasters and also possibly be a storm chaser and track the progress of these very dangerous storms.

The sun heats up the Earth's atmosphere. If a light bulb emits heat into the atmosphere it is a form of radiation, which is a form of heat energy. The air rising above the fire is an example of convection which is energy circulated by a fluid.

Wind is convection.Wind is formed by the sun rays hitting the planet at vast areas and heats up the planet unevenly and differently. As a area heats up, the air expands, causing a pressure change. Wind is just simple high air pressure moving toward a low pressure region to even things out. Uneven heating of our planet because of the planet's tilt, is an example of convection.

Whenever sun starts to heat up the water, the hotter water rises to the surface, and the cooler water stays at the bottom, which is convection. The more salinity there is in the water is dense and is going to push up on the less dense water and is going to churn with it as the salt amount changes.
October 9, 2012
Prevailing winds are global winds. They stay year round. Local winds change when the season change. They also change by the body of water and the location. The Coriolis effect also affects prevailing winds.
October 11, 2012
Meteorologists use anemometer, barometer, hygrometer, rain gauge, sundial, thermometer, wind sock, wind wane.
October 12, 2012
Trade winds blow towards the equator and they blow southwest. Prevailing trade winds move toward the equator, which is south to the Northern Hemisphere, and because of the Coriolis effect it veers to the right if you look down from the North Pole.
October 15, 2012
You would expect it to be cooler in a high pressure system and warmer air in a lower air pressure. There would be more clouds in a lower air pressure and less clouds in a high air pressure.
October 16, 2012
Wind would be created when air of different pressure mixes.
There is a hundred percent cloud cover. The wind speed is 25 knots. The wind is coming from the northeast blowing south west. The temperature is 76.
October 17, 2012
When you release the air from the balloon you create wind.
When you bow up a balloon you pump air into the balloon, you force air into the balloon making it denser, so therefore it is high pressure air.
October 22, 2012
The pressure system created inside the can would be a low pressure system because the hot plate heated up the can and because of the warm moist air. The pressure system around the can was high pressure because the air around the can was colder than the air inside the can inside the can.
October 23, 2012
Dallas, Houston, San Francisco and Minneapolis are experiencing clear, dry weather because the circles are mostly clear, which means that there are no clouds there. Atlanta, Chicago, and Seattle are experiencing wet, rainy weather because they all have hundred percent cloud cover, which means that the cities have a lot of clouds and rain. Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago experience high pressure. Dallas would be experiencing low pressure
Seattle is experiencing high winds.
October 24, 2012
The air is not as compacted in a low pressure system, so therefore it is more likely to rain, and rain comes from clouds. A high pressure system is heading our way because in a high pressure the air is compacted and dry, which means its cold. So we will have dry, cold weather in Dallas..
October 25, 2012
Air mass is a large body of air and you have to have temperature, humidity, and pressure. Different air masses are continental and stuff.
October 29, 2012
1) Hot, dry, not very cloudy
2) cold front, some showers, clear skies
3) warm front, cloudy, light showers
October 30, 2012
1. Florida, Texas and Oklahoma. The south of the US.
2. Stationary and Cold Fronts
3. Stationary Front. It doesn't go anywhere
4. Cold Front. The front is going South. The front is coming in from the north East. Going towards the south.
October 31, 2012
There is a cold front heading towards to the south from Canada and also one heading out to the Atlantic Ocean. You would get cold weather there and you would get a lot of rain. There is a warm front near Washington and you can expect warm weather and light to moderate rain there. There is high pressure in the western part of the United States. Near Maine there is an occluded front so you can expect snow there.
November 1, 2012
It was so green and warm because the Gulf Stream CUrrent that comes through and the heat from the current transfers from the ocean to Ireland, which is an example of conduction. Hurricanes have extremely low pressure and that is why the hurricane spins inward and counterclockwise and it also brings plenty of rain, clouds, and water. The eye of the hurricane has the highest low pressure and it gets lower.
November 5, 2012
Oceans affect climates because the temperature of the currents. If the current is warmer then the climate is going to be warmer. If the current is colder the climate is going to be colder. This is because of conduction. Also with warm ones there is more moisture and the opposite for cold ocean currents.
We would have clear skies. This is because it is colder and the molecules are more compacted. There is a higher density. There will not be any water vapor left for clouds to form.

You would expect humidity with plenty of rain and also a low pressure system. For Sunday you could expect cold, dry weather with not that much humidity. Possible thunderstorms.
