- Q1
3: Weather variables are measured every day at locations around the world.
truefalseTrue or False30s - Q2
3: Modern weather forecasts are created using computers.
truefalseTrue or False30s - Q3
3: Which diagram shows surface weather measurements?
a station model
an upper air chart
a visible light satellite image
an infrared satellite image
120s - Q4
3: Which contains measurements of temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind speed and direction?
a surface report
a satellite image
a radar image
a weather station
120s - Q5
3: What does Doppler radar measure?
the rate at which air pressure changes
air pressure
the speed at which precipitation travels
air temperature
120s - Q6
3: What is the temperature according to the station model shown?
138°F
55°F
3°F
81°F
120s - Q7
3: Which measures air pressure?
barometer
thermometer
psychrometer
anemometer
120s - Q8
3: When isobars are close together on a weather map, this means....
winds are strong
warm fronts prevail
temperatures are high
cloud cover is extensive
120s - Q9
How is radar able to measure precipitation?
Radio waves are bounced off a weather ballon; any form of precipitation will interrupt the signal.
A radiosonde in the atmosphere sends back the data via radar link.
Radar measures the wind speed, which slows down when carrying rain.
Radio waves will bounce off the raindrops and reflect back.
120s - Q10
What is a surface report?
detailed map of the surface provided by satellites
measurements taken only by human observers to prevent error
a set of weather measurements taken on the surface of Earth
a brief report of collected data
120s - Q11
Where are the isobars located in this figure, and what do they represent?
Isobars are lines with half-circles and triangles and are used to measure the exact wind speed and air pressure.
Isobars have dots with flags attached and are an important part of the Doppler radar system.
Isobars connect areas of the same pressure. They show the location of high- and low-pressure systems in the figure.
Isobars are the L's and H's on the map and indicate high-pressure or low-pressure areas.
120s - Q12
What information can be gathered from the colors in this infrared image?
Bright colors indicate cities below the clouds.
Colors indicate a large mass of warm clouds with a center of heavy rain.
A bright spot means a high chance of rain.
Brighter colors indicate warmer air.
120s - Q13
What method is used to collect information for an upper-air report?
measurements taken by Doppler radar and infrared
human observers measuring cloud formations from the ground
analysis of wind movement collected by at least three ground stations
measurements taken by radiosonde instruments
