ATSC 113 SNOW EXAM GUIDE QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 2025/2026 gradient - is a change in a property, such as temperature, over a distance Deposition - occurs when a substance undergoes a phase change directly from the gas to the solid phase, without the liquid stage in between. For instance, the deposition of water is when it changes from water vapour (gas) into ice (solid) without passing through the liquid water phase. It literally deposits itself onto the snow surface. Dewpoint temperature ...

ATSC 113 MIDTERM EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 2025/2026 Clear Air Turbulence & Sucker hole - Severe turbulence in clear air. A gap of clear air btw TS w/ severe turbulence is "sucker hole". Downbursts - Rapidly descending air, found below clouds that have precipitation or virga (evap before hitting the ground). Smaller diameter & shorter duration are called microbursts. Gust fronts - When cold downburst hits the ground -> radial straight-line winds. The leading edge is gust fro...

ATSC 113 FLYING EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 2025/2026 Define AGL - Above ground level; used to describe the height of a cloud (for example, a cloud base of 1000 feet AGL) weather observers never ____ cloud coverage but often ____ cloud coverage - underestimate; overestimate what is the type of visibility most relevant to safety when flying - horizontal visibility (looking straight ahead); this is because vertical visibility (looking down) or looking at a nearly vertical angle (slant visi...

ATSC 113 FLYING ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS 2025/2026 what are layer/stratiform (ST) clouds associated with - warm fronts (because the warm air moving over a wedge of cool air, causing the warm air to slide along the cold air because of its buoyancy is typical of warm fronts); stratiform clouds can be often found along warm frotns what are the categories of strati form clouds - high, middle, and low high = cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus middle = altostratus and altocumulus...
