What is Adiabat?

A fixed potential temperature line on adiabats, or the process of thermodynamic changes within a system without any exchange of heat with the surroundings. In the atmosphere, a distinction can be made between dry and moist adiabatic processes.

A weather front where two air masses meet but neither is strong enough to move the other, often resulting in prolonged periods...

Anticyclones are areas of high atmospheric pressure that bring hot, dry weather in the summer and cold fronts in the winter.

Jet streams are strong, fast-flowing air currents in the upper levels of the atmosphere. They form when warm air masses meet...

Convection is the vertical movement of air caused by temperature differences, where warm air rises and cool air sinks. It...

A prefix used in cloud nomenclature to describe middle-altitude clouds that form between 6,500 and 20,000 feet, such as altostratus...

A weather front formed when a cold front overtakes a warm front, lifting the warm air off the ground and resulting in a mix...

A line on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure, used to identify high and low-pressure systems.

A thermodynamic change process in the system without any exchange of heat or transfer of energy between systems. This process...

A rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground, capable of causing significant damage.

The expected rate of temperature decrease in an adiabatically rising air parcel when there is no heat exchange with the environment....
