WINTER STORMS
Definition _________ weather conditions in a region over a long period of _________. Based on temperature and humidity (amount of ) Average time precipitation
Water Budget A monthly account of what happens to water in a particular location over the course of a year Income = amount of ____________ Expenses = potential evaporation (evaporation + transpiration) precipitation
Potential Evaporation Potential Evaporation - How much water can enter the atmosphere Highest in ________ because the temps are ________ Lowest in ________ (temps are cooler so less evaporation) summer hotter winter
Climate and the Water Budget Arid - ____ = total precipitation is ______ than potential evaporation dry less Less vegetation
Climate and the Water Budget Humid - _______ = total precipitation is ______ than potential evaporation moist more More vegetation
Radiation Balance Gaining the same amount of radiation energy that is given off Is balanced over long time periods and over the Earth as whole. If they weren't balance then the Earth would be continually cooling or warming. Over a short period of time, radiant energy is unequally distributed over the Earth.
Average Yearly Temperature = Temperatures Averaged out over the year Yearly Temperature Range = Difference between average high and low temperature throughout the year

Average Yearly Temperature vs. Yearly Temperature Range Valdivia, Chile 53o F 16 o F (from 46o to 62o F) Peking, China 55 o F (from 24 o to 79 o F)
