Thank you!

c. Based on your answers to parts a and b, select the Problems correct answer: With an increase in altitude, air pressure decreases at a(n) (constant, increasing, decreasing) rate 1. Refer to the newspaper-type weather map in Figure 1.3 to 5. If the temperature at sea level were 23°C, what would the answer the following: a. Estimate the predicted high temperatures in central New air temperature be at a height of 2 kilometers, under average conditions? York State and the northwestern corner of Arizona b. Where is the coldest area on the weather map? Where is 6. Use the graph of the atmosphere's thermal structure (Figure 1.23) to answer the following: a. What are the approximate height and temperature of the the warmest? c. On this weather map, H stands for the center of a region stratopause? of high pressure. Does it appear as though high pressure b. At what altitude is the temperature lowest? What is the is associated with precipitation or fair weather? d. Which is warmer central Texas or central Maine? Would temperature at that height? 7. Answer the following questions by examining the graph in you normally expect this to be the case? 2. Refer to the graph in Figure 1.5 to answer the following Figure 1.25 a. In which one of the three regions (tropics, middle questions about temperatures in New York City: a. What is the approximate average daily high temperature latitudes, poles) is the surface temperature lowest? b. In which region is the tropopause encountered at the in January? In July? b. Approximately what are the highest and lowest lowest altitude? The highest? What are the altitudes and temperatures of the tropopause in those regions? temperatures ever recorded 8. a. On a spring day, a middle-latitude city (about 40° north 3. Refer to the graph in Figure 1.7. Which year had the greatest latitude) has a surface (sea-level) temperature of 10°C. If vertical soundings reveal a nearly constant environmental lapse rate of 6.5°C per kilometer and a temperature at the tropopause of-55°C, what is the height of the tropopause? number of billion-dollar weather disasters? How many events occurred that year? In which year was the damage amount greatest 4. Refer to the graph in Figure 1.21 to answer the following: a. Approximately how much does the air pressure drop b. On the same spring day as in part a, a station near the equator has a surface temperature of 25°C, which is 15°C higher than the middle-latitude city mentioned in part a. Vertical soundings reveal an environmental lapse rate of 6.5 C per kilometer and indicate that the tropopause is encountered at 16 kilometers. What is the air temperature at the tropopause? (in millibars) between the surface and 4 kilometers (2.5 miles)? (Use a surface pressure of 1000 millibars.) b. How much does the pressure drop between 4 and 8 kilometers (2.5 and 5 miles)?

Explanation / Answer

ANSWERS:

Fig 1. The approximate average daily high temperature in January is 4 Degree Celcius.

Fig 2. The approximate average daily high temperature in July is 28 Degree Celcius.

Fig 3. The highest temperature recorded in New York is approximately 42 Degree Celcius.

Fig 4. The lowest temperature recorded in New York is approximately -19 Degree Celcius.

Fig 5. The pressure(P) at the surface is 1000mb. P at 4 km according to the graph is 600mb. So, the drop in pressure is 400mb.

Fig 6. The pressure at 4km is 600mb, at 8 km is 350mb(approx.). So the drop in pressure is 250mb.

Fig 7. With an increase in altitude, the pressure decreases at a decreasing rate.

Fig 8. the altitude of stratopause is 46 km.

Fig 9. the temperature at stratopause is 0 Degree Celcius.

Fig 10. the altitude of the lowest atmospheric temperature is 88 km.

Fig 11. the lowest atmospheric temp is -95 Degree Celcius.

Fig 12. lowest surface temp in polar tropopause(region),

lowest altitude in polar tropopause,

highest altitud in tropical tropopaus.

Fig 13. 2005

Fig 14. (14 number of events)

Fig 15. 2012

Q1. Considering avg lapse rate 6.5 Degree Celcius in normal condition the temperature at 2 km altitude will be 23+(6.5*2)= 36 Degree Celcius.

Q 2. total drop in temperature at tropopause= 10+55=65 Degree Celcius.

So, the height of the tropopause is = 65/6.5= 10 km.

Q 3. the drop in temp at 16 km will be= 16*6.5= 104 Degree Celcius.

So, the temp at the tropopause is= 104-25= 79 Degree Celcius.
