Ground Hog Day• Ground Hog Day - if the ground hog sees his shadow
there will be 6 more weeks of winter.
• German superstition used animals to predict weather. Germany used a hedgehog.
• Pennsylvania - German settlements - 1887 - first ground hog named Phil. Today is the 5th generation in Pennsylvania - 7:00 a.m. Penn. Time in Globber Hill -Ground Hog Club. A very big tradition - people dress up and many tourists come to see the festival. Ground Hogs usually hibernate. They are woken up for the tradition. Phil is about 14 pounds.

Temperature vs. Heat•
• Temperature vs. Heat - Temperature measures how rapidly or slowly molecules move around.
• Heat is the transfer of energy because of difference of
temperature between substances.• Temperature Scales:

Causes of weather• Meteorology – study of atmospheric phenomena Greek meaning of Meteors – high in the airTypes of atmospheric meteors Clouds, raindrops, snow flakes, fog, dust, rainbows

Cloud droplets - hydrometers• Lithometeors- smoke, haze, dust• Electrometeors- thunder, lightning
• Weather – current state of atmosphere.• Climate – long term variation – determine over 30
years span or more.

Tropics• Temperature is constant there. Why? • Through constant motion of air and water
relocation• Air masses – large body of air that takes on the
characteristics of the area in which it formed (Source Region).
• Land Air masses – less moisture• Water Air Masses – more moisture ( high evap.)
![Page 12: 1. Ground Hog Day - if the ground hog sees his shadow there will be 6 more weeks of winter. German superstition used animals to predict weather. Germany](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103023/56649de65503460f94ade82e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Classification of Air Masses• According to source region• (CT) Continental Tropical –warm and dry• (MT) Martime Tropical – warm and humid• (CP) Continental polar – cold and dry• (MP) Maritime polar – cold and humid• ( A) Arctic – Much colder – same as continental
polar air masses associated with very high pressure.

Source Region• 5 main types of air masses in the U.S. – due to the
continents location to the source regions associated with each air mass.
• Maritime polar (California) –Forms over the North Atlantic and North Pacific.
• This is why we have heavy rains in the winter.

Source Regions cont……• Continental Polar- freezes the middle /Northern
part of the U.S. Forms over the interior of Canada and Alaska.
Maritime Tropical Air – forms in tropical and subtropical oceans ( Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico)

Source Region cont….• Maritime Tropical Air- forms in the Western U.S. Summer brings hot humid weather to the eastern 2/3 of the U.S. and Canada.• Continental Tropical Air – Desert Southwest and
Mexico and source region , Hot/Dry• Arctic- Develops over latitudes of 60 N Ice Regions of Siberia and Arctic Basin

Air Mass Modification• As air masses move over the surface of the earth,
they acquire the characteristics of other source regions, In time loses it’s identity.
• Weather systems- earth rotates around the sun ,• The rotations causes the Coriolis Effect. • S, Hemisphere: deflect to left• N Hemisphere : deflect to right

Hadley Cell• This cell creates a belt of high pressure. • It causes weak surface winds. • Called Horse Latitude

ITCZ• Inter Tropical Convergence Zone Air converges and is formed upward. Area of low pressure forms over a large area. Low pressure migrates wit movement of the sun’s rays.
Weather is normally cloudy with showers. Great for the tropical rain forest.

Trade Winds• Between 30 * N and 30* S • Air sinks, warms and moves back toward 30* and
sinks again ( warm air rises, cold air sinks). Example of a Convection cell.

High Pressure• Air sinks• The air reaches the surface and spreads out• Air is deflected to the right or clockwise in the
Northern Hemisphere. It rotates to the counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Associated with cold air masses, fair weather• Found in subtropical oceans

Low Pressure• Air rises and is replaced by air from outside the
system so it flows toward the center.• Weather is cloudy and precipitation• Found in the middle latitudes• Wave cyclone begins along a stationary frontImbalances occur and pushes the front south and another part north.Weather produced affects large areas.

• Saturation - point at which air holds as much H 2O vapor as possible. Condensation cannot happen until saturation is reached.
• • H2O vapor changes to liquid (rain)

Vertical Temperature Changes• As air masses rise over, mountains tend to cool.
Remember clouds are suspended H2O vapor. As cloud rises, temperature cool then condensation temperature reach LCL (lifted condensation level) base level of clouds. Above LCL air becomes saturated and cools more slowly. The rate that saturated air cools is called the moist adiabatic lapse rate.
• Range - 4°C/1000m to 9°C/1000m• (warm air) (cold air)

Meteorologist measure atmospheric variables:
• temperature; air pressure; wind; relative humidity to make accurate weather forecasts
• The two most important factors of weather
forecasting are: accuracy and density of data

Instruments• Thermometers - measures temperature - heights of
liquid column indicates temperature from the expansion of the liquid. There are two types: mercury and alcohol.
• Barometer - measures air pressure. There are two types:
• mercury barometer - air pressure changes with the height of the mercury.
• aneroid barometer - metal container with a vacuum chamber inside. This chamber contracts or expands with changes in air pressure.

Accurate forecasting requires atmospheric data at height of 3000m
• Radioscope - measures upper level data - temperature,
pressure, and humidity.• • Doppler Radar - measures wave frequency that occurs in
energy such as sound and Light Data is plotted - indicates wind speed and the movement of the front.
• • Weather satellites - takes a picture of earth at regular
intervals• • Infrared Imagery - used to measure surface temperature
difference. * Detects strong thunderstorms.•
