What is function of a barometer?
To measure atmospheric pressure. In general, higher atmospheric pressures (also called "higher barometric pressure") is generally associated with good weather, while low or falling pressure is generally linked to rain or bad weather.
Is there clear weather because stable air is sinking?
Higher air pressure
Does a Weather balloon change size?
Yes, it does, due to the decreasing pressure at higher altitudes.
Where there is higher pressure on the earth at that point will it be more moist or more dry?
High pressure is associated with fair dry weather and Sunshine.
Usually means clear weather because stable air is sinking.?
Higher Air Pressure
Why do balloons deflate in cold weather?
Because the pressure of a gas is dependent on the temperature. The same amount of gas - as what you have inside your balloon - will have a higher pressure when it's warm, and a lower pressure when it's cold. And higher pressure = more inflation. Lower pressure = less inflation.
How does a stationery front have so many same days of the same weather?
air pressure is not always the same everywhere, areas with different air pressure can cause changes in the weather. These areas may have lower or higher air pressure then their surroundings
Is the saying the higher the clouds the better the weather true?
High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair weather. so it is true
What happens when two areas of air have different pressure?
A low pressure area is when the air at sea level is cooler than the air higher up and usually contributes to clouds and precipitation. A high pressure area is the opposite and contributes to clearer skies and drier weather.
Why is a computer monitor clearer then a television monitor?
They are higher resolution.
Where on a weather map wind speeds are related to?
On a weather map, the lines of equal pressure (isobars) also illustrate the pressure gradient or change of pressure per distance. The higher the pressure gradient, the higher the winds speed. Thus, when the isobars are close together, the gradient is high, and winds are higher than where the isobars are further apart. Wind can also be affected by local considerations, hills, valleys, and buildings can modify the gradient wind's direction and speed.
Why is there a permanent low pressure belt in the sub-polar region?
the reason is the higher the latidue is the colder the weather it gets
