WX 201 FINAL EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS What does NOT contribute to making Salt Lake City colder than Seattle during winter? - Answer-Seattle has more cloud cover than Salt lake City, which traps outgoing infrared radiation and keeps temperatures from getting as cold. What is the solar elevation angle over Sao Paulo, Brazil (lat. 24 s) at noon on Dec. 22? - Answer-89.5 Earth has seasons - Answer-Because of Earth's tilt angle Daily high temperatures usually occur - Ans...

What is the Gulf Stream? - Answer What is the thermocline? - Answer The area where there is a rapid temperature decrease with a depth of a few hundred meters below the surface How does oceanic temperature vary with depth? - Answer Warmest temperature found near surface (absorbs solar radiation) Then thermocline (temperature decreases rapidly) Deep ocean waters are only a few degrees above freezing What is upwelling? How does it affect oceanic temperature? - Answer Vertical transport ...

CPAER Meteorology Questions and Answers Already Passed What is the primary driver of weather? Uneven heating of the surface of the earth In a standard atmosphere the environmental lapse rate is 2o per 1,000ft The dry adiabatic lapse rate is 3o per 1,000ft The wet adiabatic lapse rate is 1.5o per 1,000ft A stable atmosphere occurs when the environmental lapse rate is Shallow or negative An unstable atmosphere occurs when the environmental lapse rate is Steeper than both the ...
