| A | B |
|---|
| Wiind Chill Indes | How cold air feels to human in cold, dry environment - based on hair temp, windspeed, etc. |
| Lower | High Windspeed = _______ windchill |
| Heat Index | How warm air feels to human in hot, humid environment - based on air temp and relative humidity |
| Higher | Higher humidity = _______ heat index |
| Sweating | the body's cooling mechanism that takes advantage of evaporation |
| slower | Higher Humidity = _______ evaperation |
| Latitude; seasons and length of day; time of day | What are large-scale geographic factors influencing temperature? |
| Temporal Lag | ___________ between highest daily insolation and highest daily temperature |
| Pervious | Water can flow through |
| Impervious | surface water can NOT flow through |
| Barometer | Measures air pressure in milibars or inches |
| Isobars | lines of equal air pressure on a map |
| Northerlies | Wind that comes from the north |
| Easterlies | Wind that comes from the east |
| Southerlies | Winds that comes from the south |
| Westerlies | Winds that comes from the west |
| unequal heating of land surfaces | fundamental reason for air flow |
| Pressure gradient force | Drives air from high to low pressure |
| Coriolis force | deflection caused by earths rotation |
| Frictional Forces | A drag on air flow |
| Coriolis Force (Northern Hemisphere) | pulls wind to right |
| Coriolis Force (Southern Hemisphere | pulls wind to the left |
| Coriolis Force (North/South Pole) | Strongest at poles |
| Intertropical Convergence Zone | ITCZ |
| Monsoon | Causes direct shift ITCZ |
| Valley Breeze | daytime from valley |
| Mountain Breeze | Cool mountain tops at night |
| Chinook Wind | High pressure on windward side of mtn. range, low pressure on leeward side - strong hot, dry wind on leeward side |
