Carleton North BBT Lab Weather Module ACTIVITY # 6 a Instructions: You will need the Weather Workstation CD from the Supply Room in order to complete this activity. Part A – Fill in the Blanks Fill in the blanks with the correct answer. Write the answer in the blank space at the front of the question. 1. Five satellites orbit the earth at about 36,000 km. 2. These five satellites take two kinds of pictures. One kind is an ordinary picture such as we would take with a camera. The other is that records temperature radiation. 3. At about 700-900 km the gives a more detailed view of the weather. satellites collect data which 4. If we can get a big enough picture of what is going on in the troposphere now, we can predict the weather. We can do this because we know that weather systems travel at about _____ kph in summer and ______ kph in winter. 5. Global weather watching requires cooperation. 6. One supercomputer that processes vast amounts of numerical data for weather forecasters is the supercomputer in Montreal. 7. The weather map we see on TV is called a 8. information. chart. are people interested in patterns of weather 9. A cold "front" is marked on a weather map using . Carleton North BBT Lab Weather Module Part B – True or False True or False ? 1. In a high pressure area you can expect wet stormy weather. 2. Winds always blow towards higher pressure. 3. The greater the difference in pressure, the harder the winds will blow. 4. In a high pressure area, the air is sinking. 5. A low pressure area is often formed along the boundary, or front, between cold and warm air masses. 6. Because of the coriolis effect, winds converging on a low pressure area tend to turn clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
