1 1 The lifecycle of what kind of thunderstorm is this? Choose from: (single-cell, multi-cell, or super-cell)

2 2 This is a plan view of what kind of thunderstorm? Choose from: (single-cell, multi-cell, or super-cell)

3 3 What kind of thunderstorm is shown here? Choose from: (single-cell, multi-cell, or super-cell)

4 4 Given these winds at ~10,000 ft above sea level, where would you place a low? (at A,B, C or D?) C A B D

5 5 What is the temperature and dewpoint (F) in Laramie at this time?

6 6 What is the wind direction and speed (kts) in Laramie at this time?

7 7 What is this?

8 8 What kind of cloud is this?

9 9 Fill out the blank for (c) ………..

10 10 The orange line (a) applies to the … (am or pm) AM (night/sunrise) PM (afternoon)

11 11 What kind of cloud is this, and what kind of severe weather phenomenon does it spawn?

12 12 A These maps, esp. the red areas, show regions most at risk of what ?

13 13 A What causes the weak echo region? B

14 14 What is the blue line around the thunderstorms? ( choose from: highway, storm outflow boundary, cold front, warm front, other)

15 15 What is this instrument called?

16 16 The picture on the left applies to which hemisphere? this one

17 17 Why is it windier in the Great Plains than in the Southeast, given the same pressure gradient (spacing between isobars) ? A TX

18 18 Where is the surface low near A or B? AB

19 19. Why is the airflow convergent at downwind side of a large lake? slow fast

20 20 What is the name of the force in red?

21 21 A Define point A ( low, high, ridge, trof, saddle)

22 22 A Define line A-B ( low, high, ridge, trof, saddle) B

23 23 Where is it windier at this time, in Texas or near A (Hudson Bay) ? A TX

24 What is the name of the force causing the air to deflect to the right in the northern hemisphere? 24 ………..

25 25 What are the yellow lines? ( ridge, trofs, drylines, cold fronts, warm fronts, occlusions) Extra credit

26 Extra credit 26 Now imagine column A is cooled below 500 hPa. Will the 500 hPa surface become lower or higher at A?

27 B A H G F E C D What kind of current is shown here, schematically? 27 Extra credit

28 28. Why is the airflow deflected to the right over a large lake? Extra credit
