C - answer>>>Which in-flight hazard is most commonly associated with warm
fronts?
a.Advection fog.
b.Radiation fog.
c.Precipitation-induced fog.
B - answer>>>A situation most conducive to the formation of advection fog is
a.a light breeze moving colder air over a water surface.
b.an air mass moving inland from the coastline during the winter.
c.a warm, moist air mass settling over a cool surface under no-wind conditions.
C - answer>>>Advection fog has drifted over a coastal airport during the day. What
may tend to dissipate or lift this fog into low stratus clouds?
a.Nighttime cooling.
b.Surface radiation.
c.Wind 15 knots or stronger.
A - answer>>>In what ways do advection fog, radiation fog, and steam fog differ in
their formation or location?
a.Radiation fog is restricted to land areas; advection fog is most common along
coastal areas; steam fog forms over a water surface.
b.Advection fog deepens as windspeed increases up to 20 knots; steam fog requires
calm or very light wind; radiation fog forms when the ground or water cools the air
by radiation.
, -
c.Steam fog forms from moist air moving over a colder surface; advection fog
requires cold air over a warmer surface; radiation fog is produced by radiational
cooling of the ground.
C - answer>>>What lifts advection fog into low stratus clouds?
a.Nighttime cooling.
b.Dryness of the underlying land mass.
c.Surface winds of approximately 15 knots or stronger.
A - answer>>>Which conditions are favorable for the formation of a surface based
temperature inversion?
a.Clear, cool nights with calm or light wind.
b.Area of unstable air rapidly transferring heat from the surface.
c.Broad areas of cumulus clouds with smooth, level bases at the same altitude.
C - answer>>>With respect to advection fog, which statement is true?
a.It is slow to develop, and dissipates quite rapidly.
b.It forms almost exclusively at night or near daybreak.
c.It can appear suddenly during day or night, and it is more persistent than radiation
fog.
B - answer>>>What are the characteristics of stable air?
a.Good visibility; steady precipitation; stratus clouds.
b.Poor visibility; steady precipitation; stratus clouds.
c.Poor visibility; intermittent precipitation; cumulus clouds.
A - answer>>>Which would decrease the stability of an air mass?
a.Warming from below.
b.Cooling from below.
, c.Decrease in water vapor.
B - answer>>>Which would increase the stability of an air mass?
a.Warming from below.
b.Cooling from below.
c.Decrease in water vapor.
A - answer>>>What is a characteristic of stable air?
a.Stratiform clouds.
b.Fair weather cumulus clouds.
c.Temperature decreases rapidly with altitude.
C - answer>>>Which is a characteristic of stable air?
a.Cumuliform clouds.
b.Excellent visibility.
c.Restricted visibility.
C - answer>>>Which is a characteristic typical of a stable air mass?
a.Cumuliform clouds.
b.Showery precipitation.
c.Continuous precipitation.
C - answer>>>What type weather can one expect from moist, unstable air, and very
warm surface temperature?
a.Fog and low stratus clouds.
b.Continuous heavy precipitation.
c.Strong updrafts and cumulonimbus clouds.
B - answer>>>A moist, unstable air mass is characterized by
a.poor visibility and smooth air.
b.cumuliform clouds and showery precipitation.
