When a rain shower approaches and passes an airfield, the temperature (rises/drops/remains constant) and the dew point (rises/drops/remains constant).
When a rain shower approaches and passes an airfield, the temperature (drops) and the dew point (rises).
The maximum vapor pressure over a flat super-cooled water surface and the maximum vapor pressure over a flat ice surface of the same temperature are compared. The maximum vapor pressure is (greater/smaller) over the water surface.
The maximum vapor pressure over a flat super-cooled water surface and the maximum vapor pressure over a flat ice surface of the same temperature are compared. The maximum vapor pressure is (greater) over the water surface.
Hail, code (…), is precipitation consiting of frozen water - pieces of ice with diameter typically between (…) mm.
Hail, code (GR), is precipitation consiting of frozen water - pieces of ice with diameter typically between (5 to 50) mm.
