Aviation Weather Questions and Answers Already Passed What are the characteristics of the flow of air around high pressure systems? Outward Downward Clockwise What are the characteristics of the flow of air around low pressure systems? Inward Upward Counterclockwise What is a Trough Line? An elongated area of low pressure. (Air rises in this area) (It is conducive to cloudiness and precipitation) What is a Ridge Line? An elongated area of high pressure. (Air moving out of a h...

How can you identify a region of strong pressure gradient on a weather map? What does strong pressure gradient imply about the strength of wind? Answers- When isobars are closer then there is a higher pressure gradient. That means the winds are stronger where pressure gradient is highest What are the forces that act on the air to make wind blow? Answers- - The pressure gradient is the source for all wind. - Air moves from high pressure to low pressure In the Northern Hemisphere, why do w...

In the northern hemisphere, cyclones rotate clockwise. correct answer: False The Coriolis effect causes air to flow from the equator to the poles in a straight line. correct answer: False Warm air that rises in the tropics creates the intertropical convergence zone. correct answer: True Midlatitude cyclones last for months and are responsible for most everyday weather events in the polar regions. correct answer: False Thunderstorms develop over land when an updraft of warm, humid...

The wind at 5,000 feet AGL is southwesterly while the surface wind is southerly. This difference in direction is primarily due to A. friction between the wind and the surface B. stronger Coriolis force at the surface C. stronger pressure gradient at higher altitudes - Answer- A. friction between the wind and the surface Convective circulation patterns associated with sea breezes are caused by A. water absorbing and radiating heat faster than the land. B. warm, dense air moving inland f...

PPL – Weather Questions and Answers Graded A+ General characteristics of air flows around high/low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere Low Pressure - inward, upward, and counterclockwise High Pressure - outward, downward, and clockwise What is a trough? An elongated area of relatively low atmospheric pressure. At the surface when air converges into a low, it cannot go outward against the pressure gradient, nor can it go downward into the ground; it must go upward. Therefor...
