PPT-Precipitation

What is precipitation Water that falls from the sky it can be in different forms Hail sleet snow rain Rain As warm air rises into the atmosphere it cools The air creates water vapor which condenses and forms into clouds Once the clouds are big enough and are holding enough water it begins to rain.

Olson, J. Kwiatkowski . Learning objectives. Be able to estimate area average precipitation from point measurements using a variety of methods. Estimate design rainfall amounts and intensities. Develop ArcGIS skills for analysis . Read and study each page of this PowerPoint with your table group.. Each group member should take notes about each type of precipitation. . You are looking for information that describes:. How the different types of precipitation form. Caitlin Gorden, Jamie Jefferson, James Nooyen Jr.. University of Wisconsin-Platteville. The Christmas Bird Count started on Christmas day in 1900 to prevent widespread shooting of . birds, and promote . Water vapor, droplets of water suspended in the air, builds up in the Earth's atmosphere. . Water vapor in the atmosphere is visible as clouds and fog. . Water vapor collects with other materials, such as dust, in clouds. Precipitation condenses, or forms, around these tiny pieces of material, called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).. Crown King.

Acid precipitation. includes all forms of precipitation . (rain, sleet, snow. ). with a high concentration of acids present. . Acid precipitation forms when water vapor and droplets in the atmosphere combine with sulfuric and nitric oxides. This forms sulfuric and nitric acids, which have a lower pH than typical rainfall.. LECTURE 5. PRECIPITATION GAUGE NETWORK. To have an idea of areal distribution of precipitation there should be adequately planned rain gauge network. There are two reasons to plan a network:. Catch area of a precipitation gauge is very small. ---Focus on zonal mean here (can apply to zonal inhomogeneities too). ---Apply to simulated response to external forcing in coupled climate models. 4XCO. 2. , Last Glacial Maximum, Mid-Holocene, Freshwater hosing .
