15) Which weather-station model shows an air pressure of 993 15) Which weather-station model shows an air pressure of 993.4 millibars?

Which weather-station model shows an air pressure of 993.4 millibars? Drop the decimal and keep the last three numbers.

How far can you see at station model D? 9 miles How far can you see at station model B? 2 miles

Station Models Create a station model with the following data: Temperature = 65ºF Clear skies (no clouds) Dew point = 55ºF Wind is south at 15 knots Barometric pressure = 984.3 mb Barometric trend is a steady 2.3 rise. When you are doing wind direction draw in a compass if it helps. Just erase it at the end. N W E S

This is what it should look like: 65 843 +23/ 55

probability of precipitation? Which has the greatest probability of precipitation? First look at cloud coverage Then look for the station model that has the closest air temperature and dewpoint temperature
