altitude Definition: Height above sea level, or some other level on the Earth’s surface

climate Definition: The average weather conditions of a particular place or region over a period of years

continental climate Definition: Climate that normally has four seasons

latitude Definition: East-west lines across the globe

precipitation Definition: Water as it falls to the Earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail

temperate climate Definition: Climate in which summers are warm and the rest of the year is mild with long periods of rainfall

water cycle Definition: The process by which water evaporates into the atmosphere and then returns to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail

weather Definition: The state of the atmosphere in regard to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness

 Air pressure is the amount of force being placed on us by the atmosphere  3 Things that effect Air Pressure Altitude (Elevation) Temperature Humidity (moisture in the air)

 An isoline is a line connecting points of equal value

 Isotherms:  points of equal temperature  Isobar:  points of equal barometric (air) pressure  Contour:  points of equal altitude  Anything else you can get a value for. (The weather channel loves isolines!)

 cast/natfcst.php cast/natfcst.php

 1. Isolines connect points of equal value.  15 55 55  10

 2. Isolines are gentle, curving lines- no sharp corners.  15 55 55  10

 3. Isolines are always closed curves even though the map might only show part of it.

 4. Isolines NEVER cross- this would mean that one point has two different values. Ex: one spot has two temperatures? 20° 30 ° 40 ° 50 ° 60 ° XX YY ZZ

 5. Isolines usually are parallel. (They have a parallel trend.)

Drawing Isobars: In meteorology, isobars are used to connect points of equal atmospheric pressure…

Drawing Isobars: This information will graphically depict weather phenomena that can be used in forecasting…

Drawing Isobars: Let’s begin by using the blank Weather Forecasting Review Worksheet…

Drawing Isobars: Using a pencil, you will lightly draw lines connecting identical values of sea level pressure.

Drawing Isobars: Isobar lines do not cross each other.

Drawing Isobars: Isobars are usually drawn for every four millibars using 1000 millibars as your starting point.

Drawing Isobars: Therefore, these lines should have values of 1000, 1004, 1008, 1012, 106,etc., or 996, 992, 988, 984, etc.,

Drawing Isobars: Begin drawing from 1024 millibars station pressure over Salt Lake City…

Drawing Isobars: Draw a line to the next 1024 value located to the NE as shown..

Drawing Isobars: Without lifting your pencil from the paper, continue drawing a line connecting the 1024 values located in the SE and SW

Drawing Isobars: Repeat the procedure for the next isobar value of 1020

Drawing Isobars: Repeat the procedure for the next isobar value of 1016

Drawing Isobars: Repeat the procedure for the next isobar value of 1016

Drawing Isobars: Repeat the procedure for the next isobar value of 1012

Drawing Isobars: Repeat the procedure for the next isobar value of 1008

Drawing Isobars: Repeat the procedure for the next isobar value of 1008

Drawing Isobars: Your finished drawing should look something like this:

Drawing Isobars: These isobars can be used to identify ‘High’ and ‘Low’ pressure systems… Which of these systems is a ‘High’ pressure system? A B

Drawing Isobars: A is a high pressure system A

Drawing Isobars: Draw a large ‘H’ in the center of the high pressure system as shown H

Drawing Isobars: In a high pressure system, winds revolve around it in a clockwise direction… H

High Pressure Systems In high pressure systems, wind direction is created by the sinking of cooler, drier air…

Drawing Isobars: B refers to a ‘low’ pressure system B H L

Drawing Isobars: In a low pressure system, winds revolve around it in a counter-clockwise direction… B H L

Drawing Isobars: In most cases, these air pressure systems move in a west to east direction… H L

Low Pressure Systems In low pressure systems, wind direction is created by the rising of warm, moist air…

Drawing Isobars: If we ignore the numbers, this is how the map might look after 24 hours… H L

Drawing Isobars: This information will graphically depict weather phenomena that can be used in forecasting…

5 minute check February 18, What are the three things that can effect air pressure? 2.What are isolines? 3.What is the difference between isotherms and isobars? The student will illustrate that the atmosphere is composed of gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water The student will describe how particulate matter and pollutants carried by the atmosphere affect weather and climate.

 If the numbers are getting larger towards the center we have HIGH pressure system.  Which means: ▪ Spinning clockwise ▪ Air is sinking because air is colder ▪ Since air is sinking, no clouds form which means we can expect good weather ▪ Air is spinning away from the center

 If the numbers are getting smaller towards the center we have LOW pressure system.  Which means: ▪ Spinning counterclockwise ▪ Air is rising because air is warmer ▪ Since air is rising there will be clouds forming which means we can expect poor weather ▪ Air is spinning towards the center

low pressure high pressure warm or cold air air rising or sinking clouds or no clouds clockwise or counterclockwise wind direction winds toward or away from the center
