Warm Ups
Warm Up 1- Meteorology
If I were a meteorologist, I would study the weather and weather patterns. I would study the troposphere and make predictions about the weather. I would study the climate as well.

Warm Up 2- Energy Transfer
1. The sun heats the Earth's atmosphere by radiation.
2. If a light bulb emits heat into the atmosphere it is a form of radiation energy transfer.
3. The air rising from a fire is and example of convection.

Warm Up 3- Wind
The uneven heating on our planet causes wind.

Warm Up 4- Density
Salt water is denser that fresh water so when it sinks to the bottom it tends to stay there until it gets pushed up the cool water so it tends to cause stronger currents.

Warm Up 5- Prevailing and Local Winds
Prevailing winds are winds that are predictable year round and are not greatly influenced by structures on earth's surface. The prevailing winds are given directon by the Coriolis Effect. The prevailing winds are consistent around the globe year round. Local winds change with the seasons and time of day. They are affected by land structures bodies of water.

Warm Up 6- Instruments
The Anemometer measures the force of the wind. The Barometer measures air pressure. The Hygrometer measures the amount of moisture in the air. A thermometer measures temperature. A Rain Gauge measures how much precipitation falls in a period of time.

Warm Up 7- Trade Winds
In the northern hemisphere, the trade winds travel right, but south so southwest because of the Coriolis Effect. Winds blow towards the equator because it is a low pressure area.

Warm Up 8- Weather and Pressure
In high pressure systems, the weather would be cooler since the molecules don't move as fast due to density. In a low pressure system, the weather would be warmer because the molecules have more room to move around due to density.

Warm Up 9- Air Pressures and Symbols
1. When different air pressures mix, it causes wind.
2. In the symbol, the wind is blowing at 25 knots and there is complete cloud coverage. The wind is blowing northeast. It is 76 degrees fahrenheit.

Warm Up 10- Pressure in a Balloon
There is a high pressure system inside the ballon when you blow it up because the molecules don't have a lot of room to move around. When you deflate the balloon all the high pressure air rushes meets with the low pressure air creating wind.

Warm Up 11- Can Pressure
Inside the can there was a low pressure system because the air was hot. Outside the can there was a high pressure system becuase the air was cooler.

Warm Up 12- Weather and Pressure
Dallas is most likely experience clear, dry weather because there is a high pressure system. Warm, wet weather would be around Chicago because it is a low pressure system. Around Montana and Idaho there is high pressure. Around Oklahoma is a low pressure. Seattle is experiencing high winds.

Warm Up 13- Clouds and Pressure
There is cloudy weather in a low pressure system because there is more room for water vapor and clouds in the air.
There will be high pressure system heading our way and we will have clear, dry weather. We know it is high pressure because it is going to be colder.

Warm Up 14- Air Mass
An air mass is a body of air that hovers over a certain area and has similar weather characteristics as the area.

Warm Up 15- Weather Map
In Dallas, TX the weather is clear and dry because there is a high pressure system over the city. In Denver, CO there is a cold front coming in so the weather they might experience is cold, dry weather accompanied by sever storms.

Warm Up 16- Weather Map
1. Florida, Texas, and OK are experiencing low pressure.
2. A cold front and and a stationary front are shown.
3. Near Denver, there is a stationary front and the front is moving east.
4. Near Dallas, there is a a cold front and it is moving south.

Warm Up 17- Weather Map
The West part of the country is experiencing a high pressure system. This means they will have cool, dry, clear weather. The north side of the country is experiencing a cold front and the east coast is experiencing an occluded front. Also the middle of the country is experiencing a low pressure system. Also, a cold front just passed through the east coast.

Warm Up 18- Currents and Hurricanes
Clifden, Ireland is warm and green because of the warm Gulf Stream current that brings in heat to the land. Its green because the warmer it is, the more water evaporates and because it spins counterclockwise.
Hurricanes are areas of low pressure, thats why they do not form in the winter but they do from in the summer or in warmer weather. They also form only over warm water.

Warm Up 19- Oceans and Weather
Oceans affect climate because their currents can cause temperature changes in a place.
In high pressure systems we have clear skies because the high pressure leaves no room for clouds.
Symbol: Wind speed is 15 knots and there is 75% cloud cover. The wind is coming from the west.

Warm Up 20- Air Masses
1. I will expect the weather to be hot, rainy and cloudy because of the warm moist air mass.
2. When the cold air mass moves through, the weather will be cold with a chance of sever storms after the front passes through. After the storms pass, a high pressure system will move in and the weather will be clear and dry.
