Science Log Four Debrief Weather
Vocabulary • Barometer a scientific instrument used to measure air pressure.
Vocabulary • Weather conditions in the atmosphere, including humidity, cloud cover, temperature, wind, and precipitation
Vocabulary • climate the general pattern of weather in a particular part of the world over a long period of time
Vocabulary • condensation process in which matter changes from a gaseous state (vapor) to a liquid state.
Vocabulary • troposphere lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere, nearly all weather takes place here.
Sunday and Tuesday Tuesday • There is a high pressure system over Cleveland. • High means happy! Probably won’t rain. Sunday • Barometric Pressure for Cleveland is 1000 mb (follow the isobar). This pressure is pretty low. • Low means lousy… so most likely, rain Sunday. • The relative humidity is high (88%), so there is plenty of moisture that needs to be “rained”. • There is a cold front over Cleveland, Sunday. Cold fronts indicate a collision between a cold air mass and a warm air mass, where the warm air is forced up. This will cause clouds and rain on Sunday. The weather information shown was reported on Sunday, the 15th of the month, and two days later on Tuesday, the 17th of the month. The table includes conditions for Sunday only, whereas the maps report early morning conditions for both Sunday and Tuesday. 1. In your answer, using the two weather maps and the table of weather data, predict the likelihood of precipitation and probable sky conditions (cloud cover) at Cleveland, Ohio, for Sunday and for the following Tuesday. Give reasons for your predictions for each day.
