In meteorology, an air mass is a large volume of air that have characteristics of temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of square miles, and slowly change in accordance with the surface below them....
In meteorology, an anticyclone is a weather meteorological phenomenon in which there is a descending movement of the air and a high pressure area over the part of the planet's surface affected by it....
A cloud is a visible mass of Drop or frozen crystals floating in the Celestial body atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body.... s

A drought is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply. Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation ....
A dust storm or sandstorm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions and arises when a gust front passes or when the wind force exceeds the threshold value where loose sand and dust are removed from the dry surface....
Extratropical cyclones, sometimes called mid-latitude cyclones or wave cyclones, are a group of cyclones defined as Synoptic scale meteorology Low pressure area weather systems that occur in the middle latitudes of the Earth having neither tropical cyclone nor polar cyclone characteristics, and are connected with Surface weath...
Hail is a form of Precipitation which consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice . Hailstones on Earth usually consist mostly of ice and measure between 5 and 150 millimeters in diameter, with the larger stones coming from severe thunderstorms....
Lake-effect snow is produced in the winter when cold winds move across long expanses of warmer lake water, providing energy and picking up water vapor which freezes and is deposited on the lee shores....
File:Blesk.jpgLightning is an Earth's atmosphere discharge of electricity usually accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcano or dust storms....
A mesocyclone is a vortex of air, approximately 2 to 10 km in diameter , within a convection storm.That is, it is air that rises and rotates around a vertical axis, usually in the same direction as low pressure systems in a given hemisphere....
Rain is liquid precipitation . On Earth, it is the condensation of atmospheric water vapor into droplet heavy enough to fall, often making it to the surface....
Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process of this precipitation is called snowfall....
A squall is a sudden, sharp increase in wind speed which is usually associated with active weather, such as rain showers, thunderstorms, or heavy snow....
A supercell is a thunderstorm that is characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone; a deep, continuously-rotating vertical draft. Of the four classifications of thunderstorms , supercells are the largest and have the potential to be the most severe....
Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Depending on the nature of the lightning and distance of the listener, it can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, low rumble ....
A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud....
A weather front is a boundary separating two air mass of different density, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomenon. In surface weather analysis, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols, depending on the type of front....

A light pillar is a visual phenomenon created by the reflection of light from ice crystals with near horizontal parallel planar surfaces. The light can come from the sun in which case the phenomenon is called a sun pillar or solar pillar....
Raining animals is a relatively rare meteorology phenomenon, although occurrences have been reported from many countries throughout history. One hypothesis that has been furthered to explain this phenomenon is that strong winds travelling over water sometimes pick up debris such as fish or frogs, and carry them for up to several miles....
A rainbow is an optics and meteorology phenomenon that causes a optical spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere....
A sun dog or sundog is a common bright circular spot on a solar Halo . It is an atmospheric optical phenomenon primarily associated with the Reflection or refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up Cirrus cloud or cirrostratus clouds....
Thundersnow, also known as a winter thunderstorm or a thunder snowstorm, is a rare thunderstorm with snow falling as the primary precipitation instead of rain....
The Novaya Zemlya effect is a Polar climate mirage caused by high refraction of sunlight between atmospheric thermoclines. The Novaya Zemlya effect will give the impression that the sunrise earlier than it actually should and depending on the meteorology situation the effect will present the sun as a line or a square , made up of flattened h...
