  4. What is the dewpoint?

  5. 2°C

  6. What is the dewpoint temperature when the dry-bulb temperature is 24°C and the wet-bulb temperature is 21°C?

  7. 20°C

  8. On a cold winter day, the air temperature is 2°C and the wet-bulb temperature is -1°C. What is the relative humidity at this location?

  9. 51%

  10. Which temperature zone of Earth’s atmosphere contains the most water vapor?

  11. Troposphere

  12. Which process requires water to gain heat energy from the environment?

  13. Evaporation

  14. Describe the movement of air around a low-pressure system.

  15. Counterclockwise and toward the center of the low

  16. The air pressure at the center of this low is… a. 991 mb b. 994 mb c. 997 mb d. 1001 mb

  17. 994 mb

  18. Which map best shows the most probable areas of precipitation associated with these weather systems?

  19. C

  20. Adjacent water and landmasses are heated by the morning Sun on a clear, calm day. After a few hours, a surface wind develops. Which map best represents this winds direction?

  21. 1

  22. Which station model correctly represents the barometric pressure at station A? a. b. c. d.

  23. B

  24. In which two temperature zones of the atmosphere does the temperature increase with increasing altitude?

  25. Stratosphere and Thermosphere

  26. Which wind speed was recorded at Detroit?

  27. 25 knots

  28. Air masses are identified on the basis of temperature (warm or cold) and…

  29. Moisture (wet or dry)

  30. During some winters in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, the lake water remains unfrozen even though the land around the lakes is frozen and covered with snow. The primary cause of this difference is that water a. gains heat during evaporation b. is at a lower elevation c. has a higher specific heat d. reflects more radiation

  31. C

  32. Which city had the highest relative humidity?

  33. Utica, New York

  34. An air mass classified as cT usually forms over which type of Earth surface?

  35. Warm land

  36. If this weather system is following a normal storm track, the center of this low is most likely moving toward which city?

  37. Plattsburgh

  38. Buffalo, New York is 400 miles away from Albany, New York. The air pressure in Buffalo is 998.0mb and the air pressure in Albany is 978.0mb. What is the air pressure gradient?

  39. .05 mb/mi

  40. Cloud formation is likely to occur in rising air because rising air a. expands and cools b. expands and warms c. contracts and cools d. contracts and warms

  41. A

  42. What causes the Coriolis effect?

  43. The spin of Earth of its axis

  44. Use the standard two-letter air-mass symbols to identify air-masses X and Y.
