Mr. Parr - Weather Fronts Song lyrics
[Mr. Parr - Weather Fronts Song lyrics]
Since air is a fluid can be dry or humid
Moving to low pressure from high
Local winds are short ones uneven heating
Anemometer measures high
The breeze that the wind gives
Right around sunset a land breeze at my back
But in the morning wind comes toward me
A sea breeze moving inland
Oh, but with seasons
Monsoons, oh, in Asian land
Do you know if it's a cold front? oh
Moving quickly changing weather, eh
Or maybe it's a warm front? oh
Slowly moving bringing water, eh
Warm air meets cold, a standoff
Stationary fronts rain
Occluded-warm air's cut off, oh
Cool air squashes and cools it, eh
You know air can move like pockets
Global winds rock
Convection currents equator to the poles
The Earth is always spinning
Effect Coriolis-curving wind changing
The flow
Many years sailors trade winds helped them
Move west to sell their prize
Equator-there are doldrums
Wind is very ho hum 30 South and 30 North
Oh, no back and forth
Horse latitudes throw them overboard
Do you know if it's a cold front? oh
Moving quickly changing weather, eh
Or maybe it's a warm front? oh
Slowly moving bringing water, eh
Warm air meets cold, a standoff
Stationary fronts rain
Occluded-warm air's cut off, oh
Cool air squashes and cools it, eh
Prevailing Westerlies, blow the air
From west to east they come again
Polar easterlies, from the east
Away from poles, it blows away from poles
And the bands of high winds
Called jet streams
Wander north and south, on a path
Mostly moving, west to east
Aiding planes, on cruise control
Do you know if it's a cold front? oh
Moving quickly changing weather, eh
Or maybe it's a warm front? oh
Slowly moving bringing water, eh
Warm air meets cold, a standoff
Stationary fronts rain
Occluded-warm air's cut off, oh
Cool air squashes and cools it, eh
Is it a cold front? oh
Or maybe it's a warm one? eh
Complex occluded front, oh
Could it be a stationary one? eh
It might be a cyclone, oh or an anticyclone
I said oh, no, no, no, no
Moving to low pressure from high
Local winds are short ones uneven heating
Anemometer measures high
The breeze that the wind gives
Right around sunset a land breeze at my back
But in the morning wind comes toward me
A sea breeze moving inland
Oh, but with seasons
Monsoons, oh, in Asian land
Do you know if it's a cold front? oh
Moving quickly changing weather, eh
Or maybe it's a warm front? oh
Slowly moving bringing water, eh
Warm air meets cold, a standoff
Stationary fronts rain
Occluded-warm air's cut off, oh
Cool air squashes and cools it, eh
You know air can move like pockets
