  • ESSENTIALS of METEOROLOGY (7Th Ed.) GLOSSARY
    ESSENTIALS OF METEOROLOGY (7th ed.) GLOSSARY Chapter 1 Aerosols Tiny suspended solid particles (dust, smoke, etc.) or liquid droplets that enter the atmosphere from either natural or human (anthropogenic) sources, such as the burning of fossil fuels. Sulfur-containing fossil fuels, such as coal, produce sulfate aerosols. Air density The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume occupied by it. Air density is usually expressed as g/cm3 or kg/m3. Also See Density. Air pressure The pressure exerted by the mass of air above a given point, usually expressed in millibars (mb), inches of (atmospheric mercury (Hg) or in hectopascals (hPa). pressure) Atmosphere The envelope of gases that surround a planet and are held to it by the planet's gravitational attraction. The earth's atmosphere is mainly nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide (CO2) A colorless, odorless gas whose concentration is about 0.039 percent (390 ppm) in a volume of air near sea level. It is a selective absorber of infrared radiation and, consequently, it is important in the earth's atmospheric greenhouse effect. Solid CO2 is called dry ice. Climate The accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time. Front The transition zone between two distinct air masses. Hurricane A tropical cyclone having winds in excess of 64 knots (74 mi/hr). Ionosphere An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist. Lapse rate The rate at which an atmospheric variable (usually temperature) decreases with height. (See Environmental lapse rate.) Mesosphere The atmospheric layer between the stratosphere and the thermosphere.

  • Storm Chasing
    Storm chasing Tornado Alley. Nebraska USA Welcome to my blog. I’m a storm chaser. What does this mean? 1 Basically, I follow storms. It’s exciting! I do it every spring − spring is tornado season! Some storm chasers are scientists. Others, like me, just like the adventure. We do it in our free time. This month, I’m chasing storms with my friend, Joe. We don’t see a tornado with every storm, but we often do! Day 1 We’re driving through Tornado Alley in the USA. We’re starting our trip in Nebraska. We’ve got a computer, a video camera and instruments that tell us about the weather. Joe is looking at satellite weather reports on the internet. He uses information in the reports to calculate where the storm is starting. Joe says we’ve got a long drive in our truck today. 2 . So let’s go! insight Elementary Workbook Unit 4 pp.40–41 © Oxford University Press 20 14 1 Day 2 We’re in the middle of an incredible storm! 3 . There are a lot of clouds and it’s very windy. The wind speed is 160 km per hour! It’s raining. Driving is very dangerous at the moment because there’s a lot of water on the roads. It’s flooded in places. But there aren’t any tornadoes! Day 3 It’s not a good day today. After a seven-hour drive, we’re near Tulsa, Oklahoma, but there aren’t any clouds! 4 . We’re tired and fed up! I’m looking at some satellite information.

  • Spring and Summer Severe Weather Facts
    The first week of March is Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Severe weather can happen anytime, in any part of the country. The City of Rolling Meadows is an accredited Weather-Ready Ambassador. As ambassadors, the City is committed to inform the community of opportunities and information to prepare and respond to severe weather events in the community. Together with our partners at the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and the National Weather Service, we are providing the following information to help protect you during the Spring and Summer months. Plan Ahead and Be Prepared. Take a few moments to review these important facts and develop an action plan with your family. SPRING AND SUMMER SEVERE WEATHER FACTS • Illinois ranks fifth in the U.S. for the most tornadoes per square mile. • On average, 50 tornadoes occur each year in Illinois. • There were 50 tornadoes reported in Illinois in 2017, which resulted in three fatalities, 17 injuries and more than $12 million in property damage. • Straight-line winds and downbursts from a severe thunderstorm can cause more damage than nearly 75 percent of the tornadoes that occur in Illinois. • Lightning is to blame for more than 100 deaths in Illinois since 1960. • Flooding has been a factor in 49 deaths in Illinois since 1995 – more than the number of fatalities caused by tornadoes during the same period. • Many flood-related rescues, injuries and fatalities have been the result of people in vehicles attempting to drive across flooded roads. Illinois experiences diverse weather patterns throughout the year. You should be aware of the types of weather that affect Illinois, the different advisories that precede hazardous weather, and the preparations to take for severe conditions.

Task 2 Read the rest of the PowerPoint and make a note of any WONDERINGS or QUESTIONS which you have. A WONDERING is anything which you found interesting or made you think. A QUESTION is something which you want to learn more about. Climate Zones Around the World Climate is the weather that a particular place experiences over a long period of time. Climate zones are based on temperature and rainfall. Here is a simple breakdown of the world’s main climate zones. Polar – very cold and dry all year round. Continental – long, cold winters with shorter summers. Temperate – cool winters and mild summers. Tropical – hot, humid and wet all year round. Arid – very hot and dry all year round. Climate Zones in Australia The continent of Australia can be divided into three main climate zones – arid (hot and dry), tropical (hot and wet) and temperate (cool). The arid zone covers 70% of the continent. This land is classified as arid or semi-arid. The tropical zone is located in the far north of the continent. The temperate zone is located in the south- east, south and south-west of the continent. The Temperate Climate Zone in Australia Temperate climates are cooler than tropical climates. They experience the four distinct seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring. The temperate climate zone of Australia experiences a variation in temperature and rainfall during the year, depending on the season.

In Lolo’s youth she saw her hometown in western Holland implode under the impact of war, until all animals, birds and rodents were eaten, all fish angled, all trees used for firewood and a long winter of famine ensued during which 24,000 people died of starvation in an area approximately a sixteenth the size of Tasmania. Food security has been Lolo’s life-long preoccupation and this book is an offering for survival to those who have never even grown a radish. Lolo Houbein was educated at the universities of Adelaide and Papua New Guinea in the literatures of Australia, Britain, Papua New Guinea, the Pacific and Africa, classical studies, world religions and anthropology. She is well known as an author of fiction and non-fiction. Her novel Walk a Barefoot Road won the Bicentennial/ABC Fiction Award.
