Research and Evaluation: Weather Phenomenon
... snow storm with thunder and lightening. (Williams, ND) When enough moisture has condensed out of the air, snow begins to fall. The greater the temperature difference between the cold air and the warm water, the ...
Description of weather patterns
... patterns that help meteorologists and others predict the weather. The boundary between two air masses is called a front. As a result, moving fronts indicate a change in the weather. The fronts are moved in things called Jet Streams ...
Description of meteorology and different fields meterologists can work in
... as air currents. Specific topics that may be researched include general circulation, synoptic-scale weather phenomena, and atmospheric predictability of physical processes in the atmosphere. Physical meteorologists study the physical nature of the atmosphere. This includes the study ...
