9.3
A) Average occurrence of thunderstorms
Ex) January 0.4 per month
B) Do more thunderstorms occur during the warmer or colder months in San Francisco?
C) Think about ways to destabilize the troposphere:
Heat below or cool above
Look at climatology map to determine which situation occurred.Slide3
9.12Terminal Velocity = 1750 * √(Diameter)
Units are in cm/s
Convert to mph
6.2137*10
-6
miles = 1 cm
3600 seconds in an hourSlide4
9.15
A) Lake breeze front will be at the boundary of clear skies and clouds.
Winds will blow perpendicular to front.
B)
Draw arrows showing wind direction
AND w
rite
the wind direction of EACH location.C) Time of year image was taken. How do water temperatures compare to the surrounding land in summer, winter?Are cumulus clouds more likely to form over a relatively cool surface or relatively warm surface? Slide5
9.16
Match locations to descriptions
Visible satellite image, white patches correspond to clouds
Note location of the Appalachian Mountains.
Image was taken in July, lakes relatively cool compared to land.Slide6
10.1ab
ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone): Elongated area that separates the trade winds in the Northern Hemisphere from their counterparts in the southern hemisphere.
The ITCZ tends to follow the sun’s direct rays
Land heats more intensely than water, less land means more even distribution of heating. Slide7
10.2
A) Isohyets are isopleths of precipitation.
Draw 50, 100 and 150 inch isohyets.
B) Use the contour map to help explain. precipitation pattern.
Prevailing low level winds are northeast trade winds.
Precipitation pattern of the windward vs leeward side of a mountain.Slide8
10.3
El Nino: Anomalously warm waters in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific
La Nina:
Anomalously
cold waters in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific.
Neutral (“La Nada”):
Somewhere in between, neutral or average Pacific temperatures. Slide9
