What does the barometric pressure do during a snow storm?

During a snowstorm, the barometric pressure typically decreases. This drop in pressure signals the approach of the low-pressure system associated with the storm. The decrease in pressure can also lead to a rise in wind speed and precipitation, often resulting in heavier snowfall.


What are examples of standard ground observations for simple weather forecast?

temperature, change in barometric pressure, humidity


How are fluid speed and fluid pressure related?

Fluid speed and fluid pressure are inversely related according to Bernoulli's principle. As fluid speed increases, fluid pressure decreases, and vice versa. This means that in a flowing fluid, areas of high speed will have lower pressure, and areas of low speed will have higher pressure.


What were the two factors that caused differences in wind speed?

The two main factors that cause differences in wind speed are the pressure gradient and the Earth's rotation. The pressure gradient is the difference in air pressure between two points, which drives the movement of air. The Earth's rotation also influences wind speed through the Coriolis effect, which deflects air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, creating wind patterns.


How does the boiling point of a liquid vary with pressure?

Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric (barometric) pressure above it. When the two are equal, that defines the boiling point.Therefore, you can either boil something by heating the liquid, and thus raising its vapor pressure (vapor pressure goes up with temperature), or you can boil something by reducing the atmospheric pressure above it until it matches the vapor pressure.See the Related Questions links to the left for more information about how the boiling point of water changes with elevation and atmospheric pressure.

Who decides hurricane or tropical storm?

The category of the storm - depends on the wind speed, and barometric pressure reading.

Where do meteorologists get there barometric pressure data?

Meteorologists obtain barometric pressure data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, and various sensors placed on aircraft. This data is critical for understanding and predicting weather patterns.


What does meterological data mean?

Meteorological data is information obtained from the atmosphere, Such as; barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed, and air temperature.


What is the effect of pressure and speed in sound waves?

Speed affects the frequency and pressure affects the wavelength.


What has a bigger effect on wind speed temperature or air pressure?

The bigger affect on wind speed is air pressure.


Is Katrina the strongest storm?

No. It was the most destructive, but by no means the strongest. Other storms have been stronger in terms of both wind speed and barometric pressure.


Does the wave speed change in the Doppler effect?

No, the wave speed does not change in the Doppler effect. The apparent frequency and wavelength of the wave change due to the motion of the source or observer relative to the wave, but the speed of the wave remains constant.


When the pressure in hurricane gets lower or higher what does the wind do?

The lower the barometric pressure is in a hurricane, the stronger the wind will be. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water and the lower the pressure is, the more moisture that will be attracted from the water. This warm moisture rises up and forms into clouds and wind, so the more moisture is rising, the stronger the winds will be. If the barometric pressure is high, the moisture can't move up and form clouds and wind.


How does meter contribute to the meaning of a word containing that word part?

'Meter' means to measure, so to add it to another word is to use it to state a measurement of the other word. For example: Thermometer - thermo, meaning heat, so it measures the temperature Speedometer - speed, meaning how fast, so it measures the speed of movement Barometer - baro, meaning barometric pressure, so it measures the barometric pressure


What does not change on passing of a ray of light to another medium?

That event has no effect on any of the following: -- the closing Dow Jones Industrial Average on that day -- the current temperature in the laboratory -- the estimated arrival time of the Orient Express -- the phase of the moon -- the national debt -- the barometric pressure -- Planck's Konstant


Would it be correct to say that the Doppler effect is the apparent change in the speed of a wave due to the motion of the source?

Not quite. The Doppler effect is actually the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave, depending on the relative motion between the source of the wave and the observer. This effect is responsible for phenomena like the change in pitch of a siren as it passes by.
