Understanding the relationship between air temperature and dew point is one of the simplest ways to predict cloud development and atmospheric stability. As air rises, it expands and cools. When it cools to its dew point temperature, water vapour condenses into tiny water droplets, forming the base of a cloud. […]

Clouds are much more than attractive formations in the sky—they are one of nature’s most reliable indicators of changing weather. Long before the advent of satellites, radar, and sophisticated forecasting models, mariners relied on cloud observations to anticipate approaching weather systems. Even today, cloud recognition remains an essential skill for […]

THE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE 1. Pressure of the Atmosphere The Earth’s atmosphere is held in place by gravity. Although gases are light, they still have weight. The closer we are to the Earth’s surface, the greater the amount of air pressing downward. This creates atmospheric pressure. At sea level, […]
