Question

Use the sea surface temperature and precipitation data to answer the following questions: Which of the following is the closet to the sea surface at the equator at 140 degree W? 0 degree 3 degree 29 degree 140 degree What is the sea surface temperature anomaly at the equator at 140 degree W? 0 degree 3 degree 29 degree 140 degree What is the location of the greatest rainfall in the Pacific in 1997-1998? North of the equator at 150 degree W South of the equation at 150 degree W at 110 degree W Do the precipitation and sea surface anomalies reflect this was an El Nino year? Yes, the sea surface temperature anomaly is greatest in the western Pacific, so this was an El Nino year Yes, the sea surface temperature anomaly is greatest in the western Pacific, so this was an El Nino year Yes, the sea surface temperature and precipitation were greater than 15 so this was an El Nino year There is not sufficient information here to be able to determine if this was an El Nino year Which of the following helps cause hurricanes to grow and be sustained? cold water droplets are ripped from the ocean surface by winds and evaporate causing heating warm surface water evaporates into warm rising water vapor, which condenses warm surface water draws down cold air from above, causing a cell to form cold surface water evaporates when heated air is blown across the water surface none of these

Explanation / Answer

1)B:3°

2)B:3°

3)C:110°W

4)C:yes,the sea surface temperature and the precipitation were greater than 15,so this was an El Niño year.

5)E: non of these
