Meteorology and Weather

Meteorology is the science which deals with the phenomena of the atmosphere, especially weather and weather conditions. It involves the study of the character of the atmosphere and the events and processes within it, together with the interaction between the atmosphere and the face of the earth. Weather, of course, is what occurs on the surface of the earth from day to day, whether that be rain, sunshine, heat or cold, or whatever the outside conditions are.

Are clouds part of atmosphere or hydrosphere?

Asked by Wiki User

In a nutshell, yes. They are not a layer of the atmosphere, but since a cloud is humidity in the atmosphere I would call it a component that makes up our atmosphere.

Where is 4 cities close to a high pressure center?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm guessing that you got a weather map with this particular homework assignment. Without it, it's impossible to answer; high pressure centers move with time, and no list of four real-world cities will always be near a high pressure center.

TL;DR: Do your own homework.

Why do mid-latitude cyclones spin counterclockwise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

low pressure rotates counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere----and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

This is true for large areas of low pressure systems. Sometimes in rare cases, very small, microscale areas of low pressure (such as a tornado) can go the opposite way, but any low pressure that's more than a couple miles wide will most definitely follow the rules stated above. Even tornadoes typically follow the rule and it's a very uncommon event for them to rotate backwards.

Asked by Wiki User

The windward side of a boat is the side that is facing into the wind. So, if the wind is coming from the north, for instance, the windward side of the boat would be the side facing north. In sailing terminologies, "windward" refers to the direction from which the wind is coming.

No. That would be an Equinox.

The solstice is when the earth is tilted at maximum angle, (23 1/2 degrees) from the plane of the orbit around the sun. Either north or south pole is closer. The exact difference of night and day will vary depending on where you are on earth.

What is the coldest temperature ever recorded in Mont Tremblant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This might seem like a million years ago, and it was before climate change became such a big issue, but in January of 1976. I was skiing at Mt Tremblant. And I recall that the air temperature was −52°F and the windchill at the top of the mountain where the wind was ferocious, was 96 below zero. Riding up the chair lift was the worst; forget about detachable quads. This was a slow mover.

I was a dumb college student from the Jersey Shore and was up there for 3 weeks with a few dozen students from Roanoke College taking a one-credit psychology class, living in slopeside chalets at a small mountain in the Laurentian Mountains. One day a group of us thought it'd be fun to ski at a more challenging mountain, so we drove north to Mt. Tremblant and froze our cookies off. Something to tell the grandkids, if I ever have any.

How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain and hail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cumulonimbus clouds have a violet and erratic updraughts of air.

Water which condenses out to fall as rain , can also be raised higher in the atmosphere by these updraughts, to a point where the water freezes in to hail.

Because of the erratic nature of draughts in these clouds , both rain and hail can fall from the cloud.
