| Radiation Definition: The energy between the sun and the Earth’s surface. | Example: Satellites provide weather information by measuring the radiation given off by Earth and by taking photographs. |
| Infrared satellite Definition: It's sort of a temperature map. | Example: The Images provided by the infrared satellite show cloud temperature and height. |
| Doppler radar Definition: It's a radar that used to produce velocity at a distance. | Example: Doppler radar is a special form of radar that can be used to detect precipitation and approximate wind speed. |
| Weather map Definition: A map or chart showing weather conditions over a wide area. | There are many weather measurements for a specific location. It appears on the weather map. |
| Wind speed Definiton: The rate at which air is moving in a particular area. | Weather maps have symbols of lines that connect places with equal air pressure. These lines give information about wind speed. |
