At which position should the measurements from a rain gauge be recorded?
In which planetary wind belt do most storms move toward the northeast? A. 30⁰N to 60⁰N B. 0⁰ to 30⁰N C. 0⁰ to 30⁰S D. 30⁰S to 60⁰S
What is the dewpoint if the relative humidity is 100% and the air temperature is 20°C?
An air mass classified as cT usually forms over which type of Earth surface?
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?
The direction of movement of the major surface ocean currents is most affected by Earth’s… A. Tilted axis B. Prevailing winds C. Rate of revolution D. Tidal action
Which weather variable generally decreases when wind speed is increasing, clouds are thickening and visibility drops?
Which weather information shown at station B was measured with an anemometer and weather vane? A. B. 34 C. D. 138
What are the dewpoint and wind direction shown on the station model below?

983 48
Jet stream winds over the United States generally move from _______ to _________.
Which atmospheric conditions describe the air mass that is influencing weather conditions at location C?
What is the difference in the air temperature and humidity between a cP and mT air mass? • A. The cP air mass is warmer and less humid • B. The cP air mass is colder and more humid • The mT air mass is warmer and more humid • The mT air mass is colder and less humid
Which cross section below best represents the conditions that cause early winter lake-effect snowstorms in New York State? A C B D
Which geographic region is the most common source region for the mT air masses that move into New York State?
What was the most likely dewpoint at this location and why? A. 70⁰F B. 61⁰F C. 47⁰F D. 32⁰F
61 ⁰ F…because the dewpoint and air pressure need to be close together in order for precipitation to be occurring.
Because the difference between the dewpoint and air temperature is the greatest.
Because the air is expanding and cooling to reach the dew point.
At which location would thunderstorms most likely be occurring?
