Convectional rainfall: when the sun heats the surface, then heating the air which rises rapidly causing heavy showers
Coriolis effect: the Earths tilt that effects global winds and ocean currents
Cyclone: when warm and cold air masses meeet bringing bad weather
Evaporation: liquid changes to a gas
Front: boundary between two air masses
Hydrological cycle: cycle in which water is renewed
Hygrometer: instrument used to measure humidity
Isobars: lines on a map showing areas of equal pressure
isotherms: lines on a map showing areas of equal temperature
isohyets: lines on a map showing areas of equal rainfall
Air mass: large body of air that has similar temperature, pressure and moisture
Anemometer: instrument used to measure wind speed
Anticyclone: area of high pressure
Beaufort scale: used to describe wind strength
Campbell stokes recorder : instrument used to measure hours of sunshine
Condensation: water vapour turns into a cloud of moisture
Precipitation: any type of water that falls from the sky
Rain gauge: instrument used to measure rainfall
Relief rainfall: warm air is forced to rise over mountains and rain falls on windward side
Labrador: example of a cold current
North Atlantic drift: example of a warm current
Temperature range: difference between temperatures
weather: condition of the atmosphere on a day to day basis
wind: moving air caused by unequal heating of Earth and coriolis effect
wind vane: instrument used to show wind direction
