Question

The global water cycle’s transport of mass (and, indirectly, energy) can be traced via NASA’s Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission’s (TRMM) rainfall animations. TRMM provides estimates of rainfall between about 40 degrees N and 40 degrees S using sensors on a satellite.

Go to: http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/publications_dir/global.html and click on A WEEK of Rainfall “Medium Quicktime” or “Medium Mpeg” to observe rainfall patterns for the previous seven days.

a. The TRMM Rainfall patterns during the past week, when generalized, show evidence of

a. (passage of storm systems from ocean to land and from land to ocean)

b. general eastward motion of midlatitude storms)

c. general westward motion of tropical storms)

d. all of these)

At the same NASA TRMM website, click on A WEEK of Rainfall ACCUMULATION “Medium Quicktime” or “Medium Mpeg” to observe accumulated rainfall patterns for the previous seven days.

b. Broad areas in the TRMM global accumulated rainfall pattern for the past week that exhibited evidence of little or no rainfall generally [(show no relationship to) OR (coincide with)] the dark areas in the animated global views of atmospheric water vapor you viewed at the beginning of this investigation. As you recall, the dark areas denoted low water vapor content.

Explanation / Answer

Q(1) Ans (b) General east ward motion of mid latitude storms.

Explanation: According to the video of NASA TRMM website we can very well observed in the entire video that the East ward tendency storms and developing in to stronger and stronger on the final day of the week
