PPT-Precipitation

Precipitation Weve studied the water cycle and last week we focused on the Condensation part Now we are going to discuss the precipitation part of the water cycle Lets watch this video on Precipitation. "Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head" B.J. Thompson (1969). INTRODUCTION. How much rain do you get in your area?. How about snow?. This amount varies around the world. . For example, people living in Spokane, Washington get much more rain than those in Phoenix, Arizona.. Precipitation Processing System (PPS. ). GPM Mission Gridded Text Products . Provide Surface Precipitation Retrievals. Erich Franz . Stocker. , O. Kelley, C. . Kummerow. , G. . . Huffman. , . W. Olson, J. Kwiatkowski . 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.. 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. Crown King. May Average: 0.30”. June Average: 0.26”. July Average: 3.44”. August. . Average: . 3.34”. Crown King 2016 . (. 86. % . of . average. ).

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.. Artificial rain making.. Process of Precipitation:. Precipitation is caused by condensation of water . vapours. of the air mass. . The ascending air mass with sufficient amount of water . vapours. becomes saturated due to adiabatic cooling. Condensation of water . ---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 . Precipitation can be divided into three categories. . based on whether it falls as liquid water, liquid water that freezes on contact with the surface, or . ice. Mixtures of different types of precipitation, including types in different categories, can fall simultaneously. . Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX). Lynn McMurdie . University of Washington.
