What are the meteorological phenomena?

Weather phenomena can be divided into precipitation, ground condensation, sight distance obstacle, lightning and other phenomena.

Weather phenomenon refers to atmospheric physical phenomena such as precipitation, water vapor condensate (except clouds), frozen matter, sound, light and electricity generated in the air and on the ground, and also includes some characteristics related to wind.

1, precipitation phenomenon refers to a weather phenomenon in which liquid or solid droplets fall to the ground in clouds. According to the precipitation form, there are 1 1 species, which are liquid precipitation: rain, Mao Mao rain and showers; Solid precipitation: snow, ice particles, rice snow, snow showers, graupel and hail; Mixed precipitation: sleet, sleet.

2. Ground freezing phenomena include dew, frost, fog and rain. These phenomena are the condensation of water droplets or ice crystals on the surface of the earth or objects. At a certain temperature, when the air can't hold more water vapor, it is called saturated air. When the water vapor in saturated air matches the temperature, there will be no water vapor condensation, but when the air reaches the supersaturated state, excessive water vapor will be generated and water vapor condensation will occur, resulting in a series of natural phenomena.

3. Sight distance obstacle refers to a weather phenomenon that the air becomes turbid and visibility decreases due to the existence of water vapor condensate and dry suspended matter in the air. Including fog (fog, fog, dense fog), light fog, snow blowing, blizzard, smoke screen, haze, sandstorm (sandstorm, strong sandstorm, super sandstorm), sand blowing and floating dust.

4. Lightning is a spectacular and somewhat frightening discharge phenomenon, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The condition of lightning is that there is accumulation and polarity in thunderstorm clouds. Including thunderstorms, lightning and auroras.

5. Other phenomena: wind, storm, tornado, sandstorm, ice needle, ice and snow.
