Geog 1900 exam 2 Chapter 6-10 multiple choice/T or F; Questions and Answers 1 Identify examples of instruments used to measure and/or record wind characteristics (direction and speed of winds at surface and at upper-levels). Measured with an anemometer Direction of wind is measured with a wind vane Upper-level winds measured by Radiosondes (weather balloons) Doppler radar can also measure upper-level winds 2 Identify the general characteristics associated with winds and pressure gradi...

CPAER Meteorology Questions and Answers Already Passed What is the primary driver of weather? Uneven heating of the surface of the earth In a standard atmosphere the environmental lapse rate is 2o per 1,000ft The dry adiabatic lapse rate is 3o per 1,000ft The wet adiabatic lapse rate is 1.5o per 1,000ft A stable atmosphere occurs when the environmental lapse rate is Shallow or negative An unstable atmosphere occurs when the environmental lapse rate is Steeper than both the ...

GEOG 1900 Exam #2 Questions and Answers 100%Solved What instruments are used to measure wind? Anemometer, Radiosondes (weather balloons), Tethersonde, Doppler Radar, Wind Vane Identify the general characteristics associated with winds and pressure gradients Pressure Gradient: Drives winds from high to low pressure. Coriolis Effect: Earth's rotation deflects wind direction. Isobars: Map lines indicate wind strength. High/Low Pressure: High = clear weather, descending air; Low = stor...

CTS - Aviation Weather Theory Questions and Answers Graded A+ Standard Atmosphere was created by: Averaging conditions to create an idealized atmosphere. The standard temperature lapse rate in the lower layers of the atmosphere is: A decrease of 2° C per 1,000'. If the air temperature is +8°C at an elevation of 1,350 feet MSL and a standard (average) temperature lapse rate exists, what will be the approximate freezing level? 5,350 feet MSL. Moving up in the atmosphere, unsatur...
