What is Thermocline?

A line on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure, used to identify high and low-pressure systems.

The term used for semi-stationary high-pressure centers such as the Azores and North Pacific Highs, which occur in the narrow...

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

Occurs when centers of high pressure and/or low pressure set up over a region in such a way that they prevent other weather...

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

Cloud or rain droplets containing pollutants, such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, to make them acidic.

A polar vortex is a circulating mass of air in the atmosphere, typically found in polar regions. This rotating air mass occurs...

The amount of radiation, heat, or light passing through or flowing from a unit area of a surface.

A fixed potential temperature line on adiabats, or the process of thermodynamic changes within a system without any exchange...

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