Clues

  • A form of air pollution caused by a photochemical radiation between the exhaust gases of cars and sunshine. (13, 4)
  • A model constructed to explain overall patterns rather than localised variations e.g. the tri-cellular model. (12, 5)
  • A model that explains some of the main aspects of atmospheric circulation. It divides each hemisphere into three large convection cells. (3, 8, 5)
  • Rainfall resulting from the uplift and subsequent cooling of air over high ground. (10, 8)
  • The cooling of a gas as a result of pressure and volume changes alone. (9, 7)
  • The force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface. (11, 8)
  • The heating of a gas as a result of pressure and volume changes alone. (9, 7)
  • The most common wind direction for a location. (10, 4)
  • The use of annual growth rings of trees to infer past climatic conditions. Counting the rings can also give us a date. (16)
  • The zone around and above an urban area which has higher temperatures than the surrounding rural area. (5, 4, 6)
