What is the lowest possible
air pressure shown on this
map (to nearest whole
number) ?
993mb
If the arrows represent surface wind direction, what is the most likely time of day represented by the diagram?
Evening or Night
Toward the NW
What is the most probable direction
of travel of this storm
What is the relative
humidity at this location?
About 34%
What was the pressure
at this location
three hours ago?
1009.9 mb

14°C
What is the wet bulb temperature at this location in degrees Celsius?
What kind of air mass is
represented by this station
model?
mP or mA
According to the data in the graph above, on which day were the coldest
temperatures recorded?
Sunday
According to the graph above, on which day(s) were the highest air pressures
probably recorded?
Friday
What is the dewpoint temp. in °F at 11pm?

Explain the differences in the
temperature curves of these 2 cities
City A is in the northern
hemisphere. City B is in the southern
hemisphere.
What variable is represented by X?
Relative humidity
Which US city will this hurricane most likely hit next?
New Orleans
DAILY DAILY DOUBLEDOUBLE
What is the probable
wind direction at
location X?
From the northeast
Location B is at an altitude of 7 miles. What is the dewpoint temperature?
-55°C
What is the air temperature in °F at city D?
Whatever the thermometer says!
Why is it that no precipitation may be falling from a cloud made of water droplets or ice crystals?
The droplets or crystals are too small to fall.
Which location might be
New York City?
Location C
Why is the rate of temperature
change less above 3000m than it is
below this altitude?
Energy added to the air by the condensation of water vapor (540
cal/g) slows the cooling rate.
Why did this hurricane change
direction on Sept. 18th?
On that date it crossed into the prevailing southwesterly wind belt.
What variable is represented
by ‘X’ on the graph?
Precipitation
The relative humidity in the tank is 100%.
Suggest a possible reason
why no condensation has occurred.
The air was filtered so it contains no condensation nuclei.
