A pattern of warm air rising and cold air sinking
Convection Cell
When water vapor loses heat energy and turns back into a liquid
condensation
When cooler air sinks in quickly under warm air and causes heavy rain or storms
Cold Front
This cloud is found at the leading edge of a warm front so when you see it, you know a change will happen soon. It's made of ice crystals.
Cirrus Cloud
This instrument measures air pressure
barometer
Often called the "Northern Lights", this happens in the thermosphere
Aurora Borealis
A device that measures wind speed
