Weather is the state of the atmosphere, and it refers to the day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity. The difference between air pressure, temperature, and moisture influence weather-related phenomena. Other topics covered include evaporation, relative humidity, clouds, precipitation, rain gauge, air mass, front, thunderstorm, hurricane, tornado, weather forecast, meteorologist, and satellite imagery.
Live-action weather footage helps students learn how they can observe the weather. Concepts and terminology discussed include: temperature, air pressure, weather systems, precipitation, and wind.
Presents the principles of weather dynamics. Shows how weather conditions are measured, how computer models are used to predict the weather, the special role of moisture in producing weather phenomena, and finally, the impact of hazardous weather.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on what conditions must be present for a blizzard to occur. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on water cycle.
Types of climates and climate zones are explained using familiar examples. This video explores the plants and animals that inhabit different climates, the influence of temperature and precipitation on climate, and the causes of climate change over time. Other topics covered include topography, prevailing winds, rain shadow, altitude, climate, latitude, polar zone, temperate zone, and tropical zone.
A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Topics covered include precipitation reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, and nuclear reactions. Part of the "Chemistry" series.
At the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory tower, a team of scientists analyzes the isotope composition of water vapor and precipitation. The isotopes provide information about the source region of the water. The scientists can determine the extent to which rainwater comes directly from the ocean, evaporation, or plant transpiration.
Global warming is changing the intensity, duration, and frequency of precipitation. These changing climate patterns are altering the water cycle and negatively impacting the environment. As the climate of regions changes, life on earth is significantly impacted. The increased potential for flooding raises concerns over loss of life and property, and individual actions are critical to lessen global warming and climate change. Chapter 4 of Air: Climate Change Series.
Viewers take a trip above the Earth’s atmosphere to learn about weather around the world. Students will come to understand the relationship between water, air, heat, and weather. The terms atmosphere, condensation, evaporation, and precipitation are explained through animated diagrams. This program also discusses meteorologists and the instruments they use to predict weather. Part of the Real World Science series.
In this episode, groups of citizen scientists use mobile technology to help save lives. Volunteers across North America measure precipitation, and their data is used by emergency managers to issue warnings during extreme weather conditions. In India, a phone app helps officials alert communities about killer heat waves. Citizen scientists also help collect data about Alzheimer's disease. They hope their data will aid the research process and lead to a cure. Part of "The Crowd and the Cloud" series.
While Earth's weather reports center on precipitation, temperature, wind direction, and humidity, space weather forecasts attempt to predict activity that occurs on the sun. Scientists also study how the weather on the sun will affect Earth. At the University of Michigan a team studies solar storms as they form and then barrel off the sun. Sometimes these storms hit the Earth with damaging force. Space weather has the potential to interfere with everything from satellite communications to electrical power. This team is aiming for a five-day forecast capability to give government, private industry, satellite operators, and power grid companies more time to take necessary action to protect critical infrastructure.
