Photo: Lin Wu Cirrus Cumulus Stratus Question 3 The lack of Coriolis Effect along the equator resulted no lasting wind along the equator. low pressure along the equator. upper rising air along the equator high temperature along the equator. Question 4 You will need the vapor pressure curve and a calculator to answer this question. Given temperature 30°C and dew point temperature 25°C, what is the relative humidity? (The numbers below are rounded up or down. Select the closet one.) 36% 76% 47% 9890 1.25 p Question 5 Sensible heat is the key that connects mass and energy through evapotranspiration which affects both the water balance and energy balance simultaneously. True False Question 6 The reason that saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR or WALR) is lower than that of the dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR) is OPressure reduces slower in saturated air Saturated air has more evaporation Saturated air rises slower lemperature drop is compensated by latent heat release in saturated air One of the reasons that California coastal areas have relatively cooler summer compared to similar latitude in the east coastal areas is the cold ocean currents along California coasts. True False The blue lines on the map are isotherms. The distribution pattern indicates that this is aisotherm map. January July Question 9 1.25 points Save Answer Sitting in an airplane shortly before landing I noticed that the flight status on the monitor shows a 0°C outside temperature. At the same time, the pilot reports that the ground temperature is 19.5°C. What is likely the altitude of your airplane at that moment if the atmospheric condition is in an average situation? 2,000 M 3,000 M 5,000 M 4,000 M Which location has the highest annual temperature change? 2 1 Europe 12 13 14 15 17 18 19 20 5,200 Kilometers 2 3 Question 11 1.25 points Save Answer It was observed that when a parcel of air with a temperature of 20°C and relative humidity of 100% at sea level rose to 1000 meter elevation, the temperature inside the parcel dropped to 12°C. The drop of temperature followed Unsaturated adiabatic lapse rate (UALR) Saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR) Environmental lapse rate (ELR)

Answer 1

1. Location 5 has the highest precipitation. Because this area is in the tropical climate and in the rainfall sides of the Himalayan trenches and average annual rainfall is 11770mm.

2. The cloud in the picture are cirrus clouds. Cirrus clouds characterized by a genus atmospheric cloud generally thin and wispy strands.

3. The lack of Coriolis Effect along the equator resulted no lasting wind along the equator. At the equator the wind blows perpendicular to the isobar and the zone is low pressure.

4. From the vapor pressure curve, the given temperature 30⁰C and dew point temperature 25⁰ C, the relative humidity is 76%.

5. The statement is true. The heat exchange through the direct contact between the air and the surface as well as evaporation and transpiration.
