Question
The data above were obtained from a weather balloon over three mid latitude Cities in the United States. Click the box if the statement is true based on the diagram.
Snow was likely formed aloft at each location
The collision-coalescence process dominates each location
The dewpoint at the surface at RNK and GSO is above zero.
Sleet is the most likely precipitation hitting the ground at GSO
Rain is the dominant precipitation hitting the ground at CHS.
Each city's profile is characterized by an inversion.

The true statements are
1. The dewpoint at the surface at RNK and GSO is above zero
The temperature relative humidity reaches to 100%, that is the temperature in which saturation occurs is known as Dewpoint.
2. Sleet is the most likely precipitation hitting the ground at GSO
When precipitation falls from sky or clouds as liguid rain drops and as it gets lower it freezes creating sleet or hail.
3. Snow was likely formed aloft at each location.
Atmospheric water vapour frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer.
4. Each city profile is characterized by an inversion.
