What is Cirriform?

The decrease in temperature with height in an adiabatically rising air parcel (lapse rate). For dry air, this value is 1...

A weather front where two air masses meet but neither is strong enough to move the other, often resulting in prolonged periods...

A large body of air having similar horizontal temperature and moisture characteristics.

A sudden and rapid flow of snow masses accumulated on the slopes of mountainous areas under the influence of gravity or a...

Jet streams are strong, fast-flowing air currents in the upper levels of the atmosphere. They form when warm air masses meet...

A rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground, capable of causing significant damage.

The temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture and water vapor begins to condense into liquid form, leading...

Anticyclones are areas of high atmospheric pressure that bring hot, dry weather in the summer and cold fronts in the winter.

A thick cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface, significantly reducing visibility.

A drainage wind that flows downhill due to gravity, often associated with cold air descending from elevated regions.
