atmospheric pressure and wind speed
Atmospheric pressure refers to the force exerted by the weight of the Earth's atmosphere on a given area. It is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth's surface. Wind speed refers to the rate at which air molecules move horizontally in the atmosphere. It measures how quickly the air is moving relative to a stationary point on the Earth's surface.
