Air pressure questions. What are 2 characteristics of heavy air? Of Light air? What air is rising: heavy or light? High pressure or low pressure? Why does wind blow?

Fronts Define ‘front’. What is the air like that moves into a region after a warm front passes? What frontal boundary looks like this? Why do clouds form at fronts? http://www.kidsgeo.com/index.php

Weather maps What is the difference between an isotherm and an isobar? Which way do weather systems move across the US? Draw an image of the winds around a low pressure system. Draw an image of the winds around a high pressure system.

Station models (have ESRT out) What page of the ESRT shows the symbols for station models? What units are temperature and dewpoint temperature in? Describe the winds, cloud cover and precipitation for this station model: http://www.regentsearth.com/Tests/WeatherMC.html
