Forecasting the weather powerpoint
This document discusses weather forecasting and understanding weather maps. It explains that weather maps show isobars which indicate wind patterns around high and low pressure systems. Closer isobars mean stronger winds. It describes features of high and low pressure systems including wind direction. Cold fronts are shown where cold air pushes warm air upwards, potentially causing rain. Mechanisms that can trigger rain include fronts, low pressure systems, hills and turbulence. Clouds alone do not guarantee rain as clouds need sufficient moisture and lifting of air to produce meaningful rainfall.
Weather and Climate
The document discusses various topics related to weather and climate, including:
1. It defines weather as atmospheric conditions in a specific place and time, while climate describes average weather conditions over many years.
2. It describes several elements that determine weather such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and cloud formation.
3. It explains weather phenomena like air masses, fronts, precipitation types, tropical cyclones, monsoon winds, and instruments used to measure weather.
4. It briefly mentions climate change topics like El Niño and the greenhouse effect.
Weather and Climate
This document provides an overview of weather and climate concepts. It discusses how weather is caused by differences in temperature and air pressure between locations. It also describes common weather phenomena and how weather is forecasted using various instruments and models. The document outlines different climate zones and variables that influence climate. It explains phenomena like El Niño and hurricanes and how climate change is impacting environments and societies.
Climatology lecture 14 feb
This document provides information about climatology and the key concepts within it. It defines weather as the short-term atmospheric conditions over an area, while climate describes conditions over a long period of time (many years). It describes the layers of the atmosphere including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. It also discusses atmospheric composition, temperature, pressure, and the processes involved in energy transfer within the atmosphere.
2. Depressions
A depression forms where warm and cold air masses meet, creating an area of low pressure. As the depression moves across an area, it brings different weather conditions. A warm front passes first, causing cloud cover and prolonged light rain as warm air rises over cold air. Next is the cold front, which brings a short, heavy rainfall and gusty winds as cold air undercuts the warm air mass. Weather then becomes cooler and showery behind the cold front.
Weather elements
The document defines weather elements and the factors that influence them. It states that temperature depends on hours of sun, latitude, altitude, distance from the ocean, and relief. It explains that air pressure decreases with height and that high pressure causes sunny weather while low pressure causes storms. Humidity depends on temperature, and wind is caused by the movement of air masses from colder to warmer areas. Finally, it indicates that precipitation forms as water evaporates and rises into clouds, then falls as rain, snow, or hail, with more precipitation closer to the equator, sea, or mountains.
Weather Types Of Clouds
Cirrus clouds are very high and wispy ice crystals. Cumulus clouds are mid-level fluffy lumps of condensed vapor. Stratus clouds are layers of condensed vapor. Nimbus clouds are clouds that may cause precipitation. Cumulonimbus clouds are very tall and fluffy clouds that can cause heavy rains. When a cold front collides with a warm front, the warm moist air is pushed upwards.

Air masses and fronts
Air masses are large bodies of air that maintain consistent temperatures and moisture levels as they move across regions. They are classified by their source location and surface, resulting in four main types: continental polar, continental tropical, maritime polar, and maritime tropical. When two air masses meet, fronts form along the boundary which can cause precipitation. The main front types are warm, cold, stationary, and occluded fronts, which differ based on the advancing air mass temperature and resulting weather impacts.
CYCLONE NEW PPT TODAY.pptx
Cyclones are spinning storms that form over warm tropical oceans and rotate around areas of low pressure. There are three main types of cyclones: tropical cyclones, polar cyclones, and mesocyclones. Tropical cyclones include hurricanes and typhoons. Cyclones form due to the rising of warm, moist air over ocean surfaces which causes low pressure areas. As surrounding high pressure air moves in, it picks up heat and moisture and the spinning storm system intensifies. Several factors influence cyclone formation and intensity. India experiences many destructive cyclones each year along its eastern and western coasts.
Precipitation
The document discusses precipitation patterns in Western Canada. It explains that the amount of precipitation an area receives depends on its proximity to the sea and prevailing winds. It then describes the three main types of precipitation in Western Canada: orographic precipitation, which occurs when moist air hits higher elevations; convectional precipitation, which results from warm air near water sources rising and cooling; and frontal precipitation, which happens when warm and cold air masses meet along a front.
Fronts
Fronts are boundaries between two air masses of differing characteristics. There are four main types of fronts: cold fronts, warm fronts, occluded fronts, and stationary fronts. Cold fronts are steep boundaries where cold air overrides warm air, bringing precipitation. Warm fronts are more gradual, with light, continuous precipitation as warm air rises over cold air. Occluded fronts occur when a cold front catches up to a warm front. Stationary fronts have little or no movement as the air masses are parallel.
Fronts and Air Masses
Fronts occur where two different air masses meet but do not mix. There are four main types of fronts: cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts. Cold fronts move quickly and bring cooler, drier air behind them, often causing rain and storms. Warm fronts move more slowly and bring cloudy skies and light rain before warmer, more humid air moves in. Stationary fronts occur when neither air mass can push the other, resulting in prolonged wet weather. Occluded fronts form when a warm air mass gets trapped between two cold fronts.
Weather Maps and Symbols
Different types of weather maps and whay symbols they use to give us diffrent information about how the weather is on a particular day.
TYPES OF AIR MASS PRESENTATION.pptx
This document defines and describes the different types of air masses. It begins by introducing air masses and how they determine regional climates. It then defines air masses as large bodies of air with consistent temperature and humidity properties. The document outlines six primary types of global air masses that are categorized based on their source region over land or water and whether that region is arctic, polar, tropical, or equatorial. Each air mass type is described in terms of its characteristic weather patterns. In conclusion, the document emphasizes the crucial role air masses play in forming regional weather and climate patterns around the world.
Weather And Climate
1. The document discusses weather elements such as temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and cloud cover. It also describes how these elements are measured using instruments like a thermometer, rain gauge, and anemometer.
2. Common types of clouds are described as cirrus, cumulonimbus, cumulus, and stratus. The Stevenson screen, used to shelter instruments, is also characterized.
3. The difference between weather and climate is explained as weather referring to short term atmospheric conditions while climate describes average conditions over a long period.
Air mass
An air mass is a large body of air with similar temperature and moisture properties that can cover hundreds of thousands of square miles. Air masses originate over land or water source regions and take on the characteristics of the surface below over time. There are four main types of air masses defined by their source region in tropical or polar latitudes and whether that region is over land or water. When polar air meets warmer air over the United States, it causes the formation of the polar jet stream, a narrow belt of strong winds near the top of the troposphere that influences weather patterns and temperatures in the US.
Pressure And Winds
1) Global atmospheric circulation patterns are driven by differences in air pressure, temperature, and density that produce wind flows from high to low pressure areas.
2) Major global circulation cells include the Hadley cell and polar cell systems, as well as jet streams and Rossby waves that transport air and influence weather patterns.
3) Local winds form due to differences in land-sea heating and terrain, and include sea/land breezes, downslope/upslope winds, monsoon patterns, and more.
Meteorology and Climate
Earth's early atmosphere contained hydrogen and helium. After the Moon formed, volcanic activity produced CO, CO2, and water vapor. Once cyanobacteria evolved and performed photosynthesis, they consumed CO2 and produced oxygen. Currently, Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% trace gases. Burning fossil fuels adds excess CO2 and pollutants, warming the climate. CFCs have also depleted the ozone layer.
Synoptic Charts
The document provides information about weather maps and weather concepts. It discusses key elements of weather maps including isobars, pressure cells, wind direction and speed. It explains that high pressure cells bring clear skies while low pressure cells bring cloud and rain. It also summarizes different types of rainfall including convectional, orographic and frontal rainfall. Seasons are determined by the positioning of pressure systems with lows over northern Australia in summer and highs in winter.
Elements of climate and weather
The climate of a region is ultimately determined by the radiation energy of the sun, and its distribution and temporal fluctuations. The long-term state of the atmosphere is a function of a variety of interacting elements. They are: Solar radiation, Air masses, Pressure systems (and cyclone belts),Ocean Currents, and topography.
Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, and Hurricanes

Exogenous disasters cyclones
Hazards which originate above the surface of the earth (in the atmosphere) are called exogenous hazards.
AIR MASSES AND FRONT
The document discusses air masses and fronts. It defines air masses as large bodies of air with uniform properties that form over land or water surfaces. There are four main types of air masses classified by their region of formation: maritime/continental and polar/tropical. Fronts are boundaries between unlike air masses. There are three main types of fronts: cold fronts, where cold air overtakes warm air; warm fronts, where warm air overtakes cold air; and occluded fronts, where a warm air mass is overtaken by two cooler air masses.
Weather and Climate
The document discusses various weather and climate concepts including:
- Weather is the current atmospheric conditions while climate is the average weather over time.
- High pressure systems are associated with clear skies and dry conditions while low pressure systems bring clouds and rain.
- Weather maps use lines of equal pressure (isobars) and symbols to show wind speed and direction helping predict future conditions.
Weather map
A weather map is a tool used to show meteorological data like temperature, pressure, wind and humidity across different atmospheric levels. Weather maps have been used since the mid-19th century for study and forecasting. They display important information like weather fronts and pressure systems using standardized symbols. Key symbols include cold fronts, warm fronts, stationary fronts and occluded fronts which form at the junction of different air masses. Isobars are also shown to depict areas of high and low pressure.
Weather under high and low pressure
High pressure systems create clear, sunny weather as sinking air warms up, reducing condensation. Low pressure systems produce cloudy, rainy weather as rising air cools, allowing water vapor to condense into clouds. When warm and cold air meet, the denser cold air pushes under the less dense warm air, forcing it to rise and cool, creating clouds and potentially rain or snow if the air cools enough. As a depression passes overhead, it brings first a cold front with rain, then a warm sector with some showers, and finally a warm front with more widespread rain.
Winds and Wind System

Weeds, chemical & whs
This document discusses agrichemicals and weed control. It defines agrichemicals as any chemicals used in agriculture, including fuels, solvents, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers. It distinguishes between different types of pesticides such as herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. Weeds are defined as any unwanted plant, and are categorized as noxious, agricultural, or environmental weeds. Weeds compete with crops for resources like water, light, and nutrients. They persist due to rapid growth, large seed production, dormant seeds, dispersal abilities, and lack of natural predators. Integrated weed management and integrated pest management use mechanical, chemical, and biological control methods.
Elearning Around the Globe
The document discusses several challenges in implementing e-learning globally across different cultures and countries. It notes that pedagogical approaches and learning environments need to be adapted based on cultural differences between individualism vs communalism and constructivism vs objectivism. Providing flexibility, additional support for new online learners, and adapting content complexity and language translation are important factors for success. Exporting Western e-learning to Eastern countries requires understanding differences in cultural values to ensure programs are effective.

Communication
Communication is the exchange of information between individuals through common symbols, signs, or behaviors. It involves sending and receiving messages through speaking, writing, or nonverbal signals. Effective communication occurs when the message is understood as intended and allows for interaction between the sender and receiver for clarification. Barriers like language differences, personal issues, physical limitations, cultural factors, or organizational policies can cause misunderstandings if not addressed. Developing strong verbal, listening, questioning, nonverbal, and writing skills helps improve communication.
Livestock observation
Livestock observation
Animal welfare refers to the physical and mental health of animals. Poor animal welfare impacts production and reproduction, can result in loss of market access, and violates legislation requiring owners to care for livestock welfare. Livestock experience pain and desire pleasure, so poor welfare causes stress compromising growth, production, and reproduction. Owners must regularly monitor livestock through inspection, ensure access to food, water and shelter, and house livestock according to codes of practice to maintain welfare. Signs of poor welfare include changes in behavior, appetite, health, and production.
Weed identification
The document describes several weed species, providing details about their description, identification features, and problems caused. Key weeds mentioned include bindweed, which has creeping roots and competes for resources; caltrop, which has spiky burrs that can injure animals; and salvinia, an invasive aquatic fern that rapidly reproduces and clogs waterways. Many of the weeds discussed spread easily and reduce pasture quality or contaminate wool.
L 11 agriculture & environment
1) Agriculture provides 95% of human protein and calories from traditional crops and livestock grown on land.
2) Soil quality is important for agriculture but agriculture can degrade soil quality over time through erosion from plowing, deforestation, and overgrazing.
3) Erosion from agriculture removes an estimated 25.4 billion tons of soil globally each year, filling waterways and polluting them with sediment and fertilizers. Contour plowing, crop rotation, and no-till agriculture can help reduce erosion and make soils more sustainable.

Mohammad al oun climate change jordan
This document summarizes the findings from a community-based assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation strategies in Kharbet Al-Hadeed, Jordan. The assessment identified changes in climate indicators according to community members, as well as effects on agriculture, water resources, and socioeconomics. Using participatory methods, the community proposed adaptation measures in the areas of agriculture, water, environment, health, and socioeconomics. These included cultivating drought-resistant crops, improving irrigation, and raising awareness. Based on the assessment, a climate change adaptation plan and funded energy/irrigation project were developed to help the community address the effects of climate change.

TEAM 2: Climatic Services for Africa
This document discusses a team's idea to demonstrate using meteorological data to help African farmers. They propose a use case of a farmer getting climate services to help with maize cultivation, including receiving alerts about insect pests, recommendations for nitrogen fertilization, and a growth plan based on planting dates and expected yields. The team outlines how these services could be provided using various data sources and models, and communicated to farmers through websites, apps, SMS, calls, or in-person contacts. Future work includes further developing concepts and discussing with stakeholders.

This document discusses using crop-climate models to help farmers adapt cropping systems to climate variability. It describes how crop yields are sensitive to climate and how modeling can provide local agroclimatic forecasts and recommendations on variety selection and planting dates. Big data from rice farms is used to understand site-specific climate impacts and develop management advice. The approach is being implemented with thousands of farmers in Colombia to close yield gaps and avoid losses from climate events through seasonal forecasting services and local agroclimatic bulletins.Climate change adaptation strategies exp fair presentation from uganda

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
