Question 1

You are in Calgary,Alberta,Canada,100 km (62 mi)east of the Rockies in January.The current wind is from the north.Looking at a prog for tomorrow,you see that the wind will be from the west,hence tomorrow's temperature will be ____ today.​

Accepted Answer

Westerly winds in Calgary often bring warmer air due to the Chinook effect, where air descends from the Rockies, warming as it compresses.

Question 12

____ tend to steer the movement of surface pressure systems.

Accepted Answer

Winds aloft, also known as upper-level winds, are the high-altitude winds that tend to steer the movement of surface pressure systems. These winds can have a significant impact on weather patterns and can cause storms to form, move, intensify, or weaken. Doppler radar, ensemble forecasts, and stationary fronts are not directly responsible for steering surface pressure systems, while cumulus clouds are a type of low-level cloud formation that can indicate atmospheric instability but do not necessarily influence the movement of pressure systems.

Question 13

Accepted Answer

The answer of A weather forecast for up to a...

Question 15

A blocking high is a

Accepted Answer

A blocking high is a high pressure system and accompanying ridge that persists in the same location for many days, blocking the movement of other weather systems.

Question 16

Surface weather information is provided by more than ____ land-based stations and hundreds of ships and buoys providing surface weather information at least four times a day.

Accepted Answer

According to the information given in the sentence, there are more than 10,000 land-based stations and hundreds of ships and buoys providing surface weather information at least four times a day. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Option A is too low, and options C, D, and E are too high compared to the given information.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Given a map with isallobars,high pressure systems...

Question 19

If low clouds at an elevation of 3000 ft above you are moving from the southeast,and clouds about 8000 ft higher are moving from the southwest ____________________ advection is taking place between the cloud layers.

Accepted Answer

The answer of If low clouds at an elevation of...

Question 20

The analysis of a(n)____ can be especially helpful when making a short-range forecast that covers a relatively small area,such as the mesoscale.​

Accepted Answer

Soundings provide vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, and wind, which are crucial for understanding atmospheric conditions in a small area, making them useful for mesoscale forecasts.
