Explanation / Answer

1. Troposphere : Layer of atmosphere that contains almost all the weather

2. Tornado : A relatively small, rotating funnel that extends downward from the base of a thunderstorm

3. Pressure : Weather element that always decreases with increasing height

4. Wind rose : Indicates the percent of time the wind blows from different directions

5. Ultraviolet : Electromagnetic waves whose wavelengths are shorter than those of visible light

6. Micrometre : One millionth of a metre

7. Radiometer : calculates air temperature by measuring emitted infrared radiation

8. Hypothermia : The rapid lowering of human body temperature can produce this

9. Minimum Thermometer : The thermometer most likely to contain alcohol

10. Sling psychrometer : Uses wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures to obtain relative humidity

11. Radiation Fog : Fog that most commonly forms on clear nights, with light or calm winds

12. Meridional : A wind flow pattern with a strong north-south trajectory

13. Hail : The largest form of precipitation

14. Virga : Rain that falls from a cloud but evaporates before reaching the surface

15. Rain shadow : Drier region observed on the downward (leeward) side of a mountain range
