ATSC 113 - Snow Sports question and answers 2024 verified to passWhat is a diurnal slope flow? - correct answer A slope flow that is induced by temperature changes over the course of a day (diurnal) as the sun heats the surface and the surface cools during night this diurnal cycle is most pronounced under a high pressure system What is pressure? - correct answer The weight of the air above you What is an anticyclone? - correct answer Also known as a high pressure system, it's a region ...

GEOG 1900 Key Terms Exam 2 with Complete Solutions Wind is the movement of air relative to the earth's surface, normally in reference to horizontal motion atmospheric circulation hot air rises, moves, cools and sinks, and is heated again localized thermal circulation the island example of daily convection; air temperature and air pressure; Sea Breeze and Land Breeze High pressure divergence, outspiral; outspiraling, anticyclone; anticyclonic · ridge Low pressure convergence, inspiral...

USCG METEOROLOGY EXAM WITH ANSWERS 2024/2025 (GRADED) A boundary between two air masses is a(n) __________. a) lapse rate b) isobar c) front d) continent A cloud sequence of cirrus, cirrostratus, and altostratus clouds followed by rain usually signifies the approach of a(n) __________. a) occluded front b) stationary front c) warm front d) cold front A cold front moving in from the northwest can produce __________. a) thunderstorms, hail, and then rapid clearing b) increasing cloud ...

To be classified as fog what must visibility reduce to correct answers 1000m or less. Between 1-5000m its classed as mist Explain radiation fog correct answers Earth cools at night and loses terrestrial radiation. Air will be cooled to the dew point and fog will form. What are the conditions needed to form radiation fog correct answers Relatively high humidity, light winds (2-8kts), cooling surface. Best found in anticyclone conditions due to it giving long clear nights When will radiat...

CSCC GEOG 1900 EXAM 2 WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS What are the features of surface air? It moves from high to low pressure. It is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere by the Coriolis force. It is deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere by the Coriolis force. At the shore, during a normal 24 hour period, a land breeze is most likely to occur in late afternoon (4pm) Geostrophic winds are subject to the Coriolis effect As evidenced in Lab 7, an eye dropper (a Cartesian di...

The energy supplying a mid latitude (extratropical) cyclone can come from both the potential energy contained in air mass temperature contrasts and oceanic fluxes of heat (sensible and latent), while tropical cyclones are powered only by ocean heat fluxes - primarily latent heat. - True East Coast cyclonic storms are efficient precipitation producers because of proximity to the warm Atlantic ocean, where ocean moisture fluxes are very high. - True Compared to hurricanes, extratropical cycl...

A weakness of visible satellite imagery is that it is basically useless ________. Because of this, often ______ is used instead. correct answers at night, Infrared imagery In evaluating a map with upper-air, surface, satellite, and radar data, the lines connecting points of equal pressure are called ____. correct answers Isobars Modern computer forecasting models have increasingly smaller grid spacing. This presents which of the following problems? correct answers Many more computations ar...
