Towards the northeast Back Ans. Ques. #2 Which way does air circulate around a high pressure center in the northern hemisphere? Clockwise and away from the center Ans. Back Ques. #3 Of the 5 air masses listed on page 13 of the reference tables, which one is associated with the lowest pressure? mT - maritime tropical Ans. Back Ques. #4 Name any three factors that affect the rate of evaporation of water. Surface area, temperature, wind, relative humidity Ans. Back Ques. #5 What name is given to a line on a weather map which connects all points of equal barometric pressure? Isobar Ans. Back Ques. #6 Which weather instrument measures wind speed? Anemometer Ans. Back Ques. #7 If the air temperature is 8°C and the wet bulb temperature is 3°C, what is the dewpoint temperature? -5°C Ans. Back Ques. #8 Which diagram below correctly shows the direction of air flow on a warm summer afternoon? 1 2 3 #1 Ans. Back 4 Ques. #9 The air pressure is 29.62 inches. What number should represent pressure on a station model of this location? 030 Back Ans. Ques. #10 Which letter represents transpiration? C Ans. Back Ques. #11 What is the air pressure, in inches, at this location? About 29.58 inches Ans. Back Ques. #12 At which city is it most likely raining? City B Ans. Back Ques. #13 On which day was the relative humidity highest? Ans. Tuesday Back Ques. #14 What is the relative humidity at location B? 72% Ans. Back Ques. #15 In order for water vapor to condense into clouds the relative humidity must be 100% and...................... There must be condensation nuclei present Ans. Back Ques. #16 What is the air pressure at location B in inches of Hg? 30.00 inches Ans. Back Ques. #17 What is the temperature in °F at an altitude of 50 km? 32°F Ans. Back Ques. #18 Using the ‘atmosphere graphs’ on page 14 of the reference tables, explain why there are usually no clouds in the stratosphere. Clouds are water and all the water is in the troposphere Ans. Back Ques. #19 Which air mass symbols (page 13 of the reference tables) would correctly represent the air mass currently over Charleston on the map? mT Ans. Back Ques. #20 What determines the characteristics of an air mass? The region over which it formed: Land = dry (continental), Sea = moist (maritime) Warm region = T (Tropical). Cold = P or A (Polar or Arctic) Ans. Back Ques. #21 What are the characteristics of high pressure air masses. Cool, dry air Ans. Back Ques. #22 What determines wind speed? The pressure gradient Ans. Back Ques. #23 What is the relative humidity at this location? 100% Ans. Back Ques. #24 Based on your knowledge of earth science and the map (left), make a prediction about the weather at location E for the next 24 hours. Rain, followed by clearing and cooler temperatures. Ans. Back Ques. #25 2 part question: a) describe the air mass characteristics of this storm and b) describe the circulation of winds around the center. a) mT (warm and moist) b) Counterclockwise and towards the center Ans. Back Ques. #26 According to the reference tables, what is the direction of the prevailing winds at 25° N. latitude? From the northeast Ans. Back Ques. #27 At sea level the air pressure is 1 atmosphere (atm). What is the equivalent pressure in inches (of mercury)? 29.92 inches Ans. Back Ques. #28 What is the wind speed and direction at this location? 35 knots from the northwest Ans. Back Ques. #29 If the present trend continues, describe the weather for this location for Saturday. Hot, very humid with probable rain. Ans. Back Ques. #30 Why do air currents blowing over the surface of the earth always curve? Due to the earth’s rotation The Coriolis effect Ans. Back YOU’RE A WINNER! A barometer may record pressure in inches of mercury.
