Question
Horizontal air pressure gradients can be seen on weather maps from the pattern of. a. isotherms b. isobars c. isohyets The Coriolis Effect deflects objects to the in the Northern Hemisphere. a. right b. left Friction exhibits itself as large swirls in fluid motions referred to as viscosity. a. molecular b. eddy c. shear 4. The existence of frictional resistance in air motions is confined to the layer. a. atmospheric boundary b. heavy fluid The gradient wind involves the interaction of the. (Choose all that apply.) a. horizontal pressure gradient b. Coriolis Effect c. centripetal force d. friction Surface wind directions around Northern Hemisphere centers of High pressure are and outward. a. clockwise b. counterclockwise By the principle of continuity, horizontal convergence near the surface and horizontal divergence at upper levels must be accompanied by air motions. a. sinking b. rising Mid to upper tropospheric Rossby wave patterns display variable degrees of meridional component or flows. a. north-south b. east-west Extreme meridional flow can produce cutoff lows or highs preventing west-to-cast progression of weather systems called a system. a.Explanation / Answer
