Question

1. Which type of Fog is associated with coastal environments? Radiation or Advection
2. T/F Tornadoes should have a steeper Pressure Gradient than Hurricanes.
3. What is the tool that is used to measure atmospheric pressure?_________
4. What is Insolation? (I want it the way we have been defining it in class)

5. When air gets colder it should make relative humidity increase or decrease_.
6. T/F Condensation gives off heat to the surrounding environment.
7. What form of uplift leads to most of the rain along the Equator? ConvectionFrontal           Orographic
8. T/F During the summer months, Southern California often experiences warm fronts.
9. The fastest winds in a Hurricane are found near the _____________.

a. Eye    b. Eye Wall c. Spiral Bands

Answer 1

1. Advection fog = form when moist tropical air moves over cooler waters.

2. TRUE Tornado have a higher or steepest pressure gradient

3. A barometer is a tool used to measure atmospheric pressure.

4. Amount of solar radiation reaching on  a given area or is measured by the amount of solar energy received per square centimeter per minute

5 .. Increases: Relative humidity is inversely related to the air temperature .i.e. if the temperature is increasing, the Rh decreases and vice versa.

6. true: While condensation does cool the air inside of the air parcel, in order for that cooling to occur, that parcel must release heat into the surrounding environment.

7. The convectional rainfall occurs due to the thermal convection currents caused due to constant solar heating produces intense heating, large-scale evaporation, moist rising air.

8. true

9.  strongest winds in a northern hemisphere tropical cyclone is located in the eyewall
