Question 1

Stationary Front

Answer 1

Cold Front meets warm front causing them to start fighting against each other, caused by neither being powerful enough to overpower the other, wind moved parallel to the fronts strengthening stationary front

Question 2

Surface Analysis Chart Shows

Answer 2

Pressure Systems, Isobars, fronts, air masses, and station info

Question 3

Isobar defined

Answer 3

Isobar is defined as equal pressure area

Question 4

Close Isobars Defined

Answer 4

The closer the isobars the larger pressure difference could be warning signs of convective or strong surface winds

Question 5

Cloud Types

Answer 5

Stratus - Thin (Stable Air)

Cumulus - Puffy (Unstable Air)

Nimbus - Rain Cloud (unstable lifting force and high moisture)

Fog - Ground Cloud (Dewpoint/Temp equal or close to equal at surface)

Question 6

Fog defined

Answer 6

Fog is a cloud that begins 50ft from the surface occurs when dewpoint/temp near surface are extremely close. Happens with temp reaches dewpoint or dewpoint reaches temp

Question 7

Fog Types

Answer 7

Radiation Fog, Advection Fog, Upslope Fog, Steam fog, frontal fog, and Ice fog

Question 8

Steam fog cause

Answer 8

Forms when cold air moves over warm water, cool air mixes with warm moist air the moist air cools and the humidity reaches 100%

Question 9

Frontal Fog Causes

Answer 9

Warm raindrops evaporate to cooler drier air layer near the surface as it evaporates the humidity reaches 100% and fog forms

Question 10

Radiation Fog causes

Answer 10

Happens usually on calm clear nights, during the day UV rays heat up the surface at night the UV rays are released from the ground and the surface cools to dewpoint
