Winds
Oct. 21 Bell Ringer
What do you believe causes winds?

2. Winds are caused by differences in air pressure.
They move from areas of high pressure to low pressure.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.

3. Differences in air pressure are caused by unequal heating of the atmosphere.
Cool air has higher air pressure so it flows underneath the warm, less dense air.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.

4. Measuring Wind direction
A wind vane measures wind direction.
The name tells where the wind is coming from.
i.e. – north wind blows from the north to the south.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.

5. Wind speed An anemometer measures wind speed.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.

6. Wind-chill factor
The wind-chill factor is the increased cooling that a wind can bring.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.

7. Local Winds
Winds that blow over short distances and are caused by unequal heating of Earth’s surface within a small area.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.

8. Sea Breeze – a wind that blows from an ocean or lake onto land
Sea Breeze – a wind that blows from an ocean or lake onto land. Land Breeze – the flow of air from land to a body of water.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.

9. Monsoons
Sea and land breezes over a large region that change direction with the season.
SPI Analyze data to identify events associated with heat convection in the atmosphere.
SPI Interpret meteorological data to make predictions about the weather.
