Chapter 14: Weather and Climate :
Chapter 14: Weather and Climate (NATSC 003 Report)
Introduction :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 2 Introduction Weather and Climate affects our Earth’s atmosphere. Different phenomena occurs with regards to them. Sometimes, weather and climate are classified as the same because it has referred to as a change in atmospheric condition. But, what is really a WEATHER and a CLIMATE?
Weather and Climate :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 3 Weather and Climate Air Mass Cold, Warm and Occluded Fronts Stationary and Moving Fronts The Weatherman’s Tool Recording Weather A Storm Develops Formation and Movements of Storms Weather Causing Phenomena in the Philippines Types of Climate Climates in the Philippines
Air Mass :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 4 Air Mass Air mass is the body of air that is carried by prevailing winds. It moves as a unit and it is really a body of air that moves. Air mass is large and extends for several kilometers. It’s homogeneous and it’s approximately the same amount of moisture.
Air Mass :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 5 Air Mass Forms of Air Mass 1. Continental Air Mass 2. Maritime Air Mass 3. Polar Air Mass 4. Tropical Air Mass
Origin and Characteristics of Air Masses :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 6 Origin and Characteristics of Air Masses
Air Masses Are Classified by Region :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 7 Air Masses Are Classified by Region
Fronts :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 8 Fronts Front is a boundary surface that separates air masses of different densities, one warmer and usually higher in moisture content than the other. It is also the boundary between a mass of warmer air and a mass of colder air.
Type of Fronts :
NATSC 003 Weather and Climate 9 Type of Fronts 1. Cold Front -forms when a cold air mass pushes up a warm air mass ahead of it.
Formation of a Cold Front :
