Meteorological Framework Objectives: 1.Show Temperature & Pressure Gradients 2.Show Water Sources 3.Define A River Basin 4.Explain Published Resource Data 5.Illustrate Factors Affecting Weather 6.Discuss Metrological processes within the context case study floodplains.

North American Temperature Data Mid-Continent: (North Central US & Canadian Plains) Normally has cold winters and hot summers that causes Mid-Continent Winter High Pressure & Summer Low Pressure

Winter Temperature Data Typical Winter Pattern: Coldest in Northern Mid-Continent 2004 Departure: From Mean

North American Air Flow Monsoon Pattern: Monsoon Defined: A wind system that reverses direction between summer and winter.

Monsoon Air Flow

Earth’s Water Sources: Outer Space Volcanoes Rock Disintegration Total Volume: 309,000 Units One Unit (1) = 4475 Cubic Km (1070 Cubic Miles) 100 Units = Yearly Evaporation From Oceans 300,000 Units = Present Volume All Oceans

Water Distribution ( Total Units)

Hydrologic Cycle Evaporation From Oceans Wind Moves Moisture Laden Clouds Moisture Condenses & Falls Precipitation Falls Back Into Oceans Produces Stream Flow On Land Enters Groundwater On Land Water Returns To Oceans

Simplified Hydrologic Cycle

Detailed Hydrologic Cycle ( Units Per Year)

Runoff Defined Runoff (Two Forms): Surface Stream Flow Controlled by Surface Topography Groundwater Flow Controlled by Subsurface Structure

Catchment Defined The surface catchment area is that area of a River Basin upstream from a given point on a stream where “surface runoff” is determined. The groundwater catchment area is all areas that contribute recharge water to the subsurface aquifer.
