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...
