Question

Which of the following affects the depth of mixing (i.e. friction's influence) in the boundary layer? Choose all that apply. strong wind speeds weak wind speeds surface cooling, which creates a steep lapse rate surface heating, which creates a steep lapse rate rough terrain The Elman spiral and subsequent Elman transport describe why we observe up selling conditions on the western coasts of continents. True False Which of the following affects the growth of an open -ocean wind wave? Choose all that apply. length of time water has no wind blowing across its surface density of water wind speed length of time water has wind blowing across its surface distance wind blows over water, known as the fetch wind direction

Explanation / Answer

11) true

Reason :Upwelling occurs when ekman transport moves surface waters away from the coasts

In the Northern Hemisphere, upwelling occurs along west coasts, when winds blow from the north (causing Ekman transport of surface water away from the shore

12) option c, d, e,f

Reason : open ocean wind waves are affected by the wind over ocean ie) their movement, speed , direction
