isodrosotherm - A line of equal dew point temperature. Isodrosotherms are typically drawn for surface dew points. They can give meteorologists a good read on where surface fronts are located since tightly packed isodrosotherms indicate a dew point gradient.

Centripetal Force - A force that acts on an object moving in a curved path. Centripetal force is directed towards the center of an objects axis of rotation. This force is responsible for keeping an object moving in a curved path.

Microburst - A strong and localized downdraft that occurs beneath a strong to severe thunderstorm. Microburst's occur on a small scale, as most are smaller than a mile wide in diameter. These localized, intense winds can produce major damage and typically last for a matter of seconds to several minutes.

Rainbow - An arc of concentric colored bands formed by refraction that occurs when sunlight passes through raindrops. Anytime you see it raining while the sun is out, there will almost always be a rainbow. Just position yourself with your back to where the sun is shining and you will find it.

Updraft - A stream of air that accelerates upward from the surface. The strongest updrafts are found within thunderstorms. Strong thunderstorms can see updraft speeds of over 100 mph!

Stratopause - The boundary or transition layer between the stratosphere and mesosphere. The stratopause is located around 30 miles above the surface of the earth.

Anabatic - refers to a rising wind flow, oftentimes climbing up a hill or mountainside. Anabatic winds are driven by localized heating at the surface, which creates a rising current of air due to the lower density that warmer air has.
