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

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

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

20. 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 = 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

22. 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
