What is the major motivating force behind atmospheric circulation?
Uneven heating of the earth's surface
What Processes result in moisture being added to unsaturated air?
Evaporation and sublimation
A small or converging temperature/dewpoint usually results in
fog and low clouds
With the approach and passage of a frontal system in the United States, what pressure and wind
direction changes take place?
The pressure falls as the front approaches and rises after its passage, while the wind direction shifts to
the right after frontal passage.
What conditions are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms?
Unstable air, a lifting force, and high moisture levels
Thunderstorms and squall lines are generally associated with what type of front?
Fast-moving cold
The elevation at Denver (KDEN) is 5,400 feet. According to the accompanying aviation routine
weather report (METAR), how far below the ceiling will you be if you are flying at 7,5000 feet MSL
over Denver?
900 feet
