  1. Climate and Meteorology 04: Meteorology

  2. Predicting the Weather • Why is predicting the weather important? • Why is accuracy in predicting the weather important? • Are weather predictions always accurate? - let’s talk about forecasts

  3. What is Meteorology? • The collection, study, analysis, and reporting of weather data. • People that study the weather are called Meteorologist. • What are some things that Meteorologist do?

  4. Data Collection • Information from weather stations are collected and turned into models, maps and symbols. Here is an example of a weather symbol

  5. Weather Symbols

  6. Let’s Practice

  7. Analyzing Meteorology Data

  8. Fronts

  9. Fronts

  10. Fronts

  11. Fronts

  12. Cloud Types There are four main cloud types: Cumulus Cirrus Stratus Nimbus

  13. What and how to turn your work into your teacher: Go to the “Assessments” tab: 2. Click on the “S1 Climate and Meteorology 04: Meteorology”

  14. What and how to turn your work into your teacher: 1. Click the Browse button so you can select your file 2. Check the Submit for Grading button 3. Click Submit!!!!

  15. Climate and Meteorology 05: Severe Weather

  16. Types of Severe Weather • Hurricanes • Other (Flood and Droughts) • Thunderstorms • Tornadoes

  17. Stages of a Thunderstorm • Developing Stage • Mature Stage • Dissipating Stage

  18. Developing Stage Updraft (carrying Moisture) Warm, moist air

  19. Developing Stage Cooler air Cumulus Cloud Updraft Warm, moist air

  20. Developing Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Cooler air Cumulus Cloud Updraft Warm, moist air

  21. Mature Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud (continues to grow with droplets of water and ice) Updraft Warm, moist air

  22. Mature Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Cumulonimbus Cloud (continues to grow with droplets of water and ice) Lightning High Winds Hail Flash Floods Downdraft Updraft

  23. Dissipating Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Cumulonimbus Cloud Downdraft Updraft

  24. Dissipating Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Once the downdraft has become more powerful than the updraft the storm dissipates Downdraft Updraft

  25. Tornadoes • Formation • Characteristics • Damage

  26. Tornadoes

  27. Hurricanes

  28. Formation of Hurricanes

  29. Tracking Hurricanes

  30. Other Severe Weather Causes and Effects of: Droughts Floods Winter Weather

  31. Have a Plan Make sure to complete this interactive in the lesson to learn about preparedness during severe weather.

  32. Climate and Meteorology 06: Global Climate Change

  33. Heat Transfer

  34. Energy Budget

  35. Greenhouse Effect

  36. Analyzing Climate What’s the different between weather and climate again? Finding the “mean”

  37. Climate and Earth’s Spheres Effects of Climate on the different spheres • Exosphere • Atmosphere • Geosphere • Hydrosphere • Cryosphere • Biosphere

  38. Factors Affecting Climate Imbalance in Earth's energy budget as a result of human activities

  39. Factors Affecting Climate
