Across 3. cloud most associated with precipitation that is gentle but steady (dreary day cloud) 6. the comfort level (see diagram in notes) of air with a dew point < 50 ºF 8. precipitation in the form of supercooled water that freezes on impact 12. process that changes water vapor into liquid water 13. amount vapor to saturate depends on ___ of the air 16. vegetable to which the shape of a cumulonimbus (storm) cloud is often compared 19. atmospheric lifting that occurs when 2 similar air masses meet and both push upwards 20. another term for water vapor in the air 22. the temperature to which air must be cooled to for saturation (2 words) 23. wedging or atmospheric lifting when warm & cold air masses meet (warm goes over cold) 25. individual cloud with flat base and domed top 27. precipitation in the form of snow pellets (fairly rare in NC) 28. any atmospheric phenomenon "high in the air" 30. atmospheric lifting when air near the ground is warmed more and rises due to lower density 31. precipitation in the form of pellets of ice formed when rains falls through a layer of subfreezing air 32. precipitation in the form of 6-sided ice crystals or clumps 33. high, white, thin, wispy/feather-like cloud

Down 1. device that measures humidity 2. atmospheric lifting that occurs when air goes over mountains, often forming a cloud 4. describes air that rises to a level in the atmosphere, then stops (may form a fair weather cloud) 5. a cloud that consists of long parallel rolls or broken rounded patches 7. describes air that holds maximum water vapor (at 100% humidity) 9. cloud that appears as white or gray sheets with the sun shining through only as a bright spot 10. study of physics, chemistry, & dynamics/motion of atmospheric phenomena 11. cloud whose base forms at or near the ground (classified as stratus) 14. described (pure) liquid water that exists below its normal freezing point 15. process by which cloud droplets become larger by colliding with each other 17. condition that exists when it is warmer high in the atmosphere than at ground level 18. precipitation in the form of a LAYERED ice pellet formed by in cumulonimbus cloud 21. describes air that continues to rise in the atmosphere, often forming a towering storm cloud 24. any particle (ex: dust) around which water condenses into droplets to form a cloud 26. layered cloud that covers much or all of the sky 29. precipitation in the form of large drops of water
