  2. Air that is warmer than the surrounding air leads to this type of pressure

  3. Low

  4. Cold air moving forward

  5. Cold Front

  6. Air flows counterclockwise around this type of pressure center in the Northern Hemisphere

  7. Low

  8. Low precipitation on the far side of mountains resulting from prevailing winds blowing up and over the mts.

  9. Rain Shadow Effect

  10. A cold, dry air mass would best be described as:

  11. Continental polar

  12. The ozone layer is found in this layer of the atmosphere

  13. Stratosphere

  14. What two qualities make water more dense?

  15. Being colder, saltier

  16. A mid-latitude storm over an estuary would be most likely to have this effect on the estuary’s salinity

  17. Decrease the salinity (rain)

  18. In what season does ozone thinning occur? (Why?)

  19. Antarctic Spring (September) The returning sunlight triggers the release of Cl atoms from the CFC’s

  20. Summarize the process of stratospheric ozone depletion. FOUR MAIN STEPS!

  21. PSC’s form in the circular winds above Antarctica in dark winter. • Chlorine-containing compounds (CFC’s) stick to cloud surface. • Returning sunlight triggers release of Cl atoms. • One Cl catalyzes breakdown of thousands of ozone molecules.

  22. El Niño has this effect on fish populations off the coast of Peru

  23. Decrease

  24. La Niña

  25. These specific winds cause "normal" conditions in the equatorial Pacific

  26. Easterly Trade Winds

  27. El Niño

  28. Normally, sea surface height is highest in this portion of the equatorial pacific

  29. Western--near Australia/New Guinea

  30. This term describes the percent of radiation reflected

  31. Albedo

  32. This northern latitude is the farthest north you would find a solar angle of 90o

  33. ~23.5 degrees North (Tropic of Cancer)

  34. Earth is warm mainly because of these three gases

  35. Besides Water Vapor: Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide

  36. THREE impacts on warming that result from changing forests to farmland

  37. -Fewer trees to absorb CO2, • -Fewer trees increases surface temp. and thus evaporation, • - Surface becomes more reflective

  38. The earth emits this type of radiation

  39. Infrared (longwave)

  40. This is the farthest poleward of the tropospheric circulation cells

  41. Polar Cell

  42. ITCZ stands for

  43. Intertropical Convergence Zone

  44. This is the name for the large scale circulation cell that takes air from the equator and deposits it at 30º N and S of the equator

  45. Hadley cell

  46. The winds at the point located on the map would be called this.

  47. Prevailing Westerlies

  48. Winds pushing water off the coast of a continent cause this portion of thermohaline circulation to occur.
