12) A cloud that sometimes resembles a silken scarf capping the top of developing cumulus cloud is the Pileus cloud.
13) Nacreous clouds form in the stratosphere and are called mother-of-pearl clouds.
14) If you are interested in the air's water vapour density, then you would be interested in the Absolute humidity.
15) The largest snowflake would probably be observed in moist air whose temperature is near freezing.
16) The most common ice crystal shape is dendrite.
17) RADAR gathers information about precipitation in clouds by measuring the amount of energy reflected back to the radar unit.
TRUE OR FALSE
1) False. In the southern Hemisphere, surfacr winds around high pressure areas tend to blpw in a counter clockwise direction around the high and outerward from the high pressure center. and surface winds around low pressure areas tend to blow in a clockwise direction around the low and inward toward the low pressure center.
3) Yes it is true that more than half of the atmosphere's molecules are located below an altitude of 5.5 kms.
4) Yes it is true that the term 'latent' means hidden.
5) Yes it is true that each year the earth atmosphere system sends off into space just as much energy as it receives.
