EXERCISE 19: Maps Name Section EXERCISE 19 PROBLEMS-PARTI The following question are on surface weather map for November 9.2011 (Figure 19-3). This day was chosen because of the weather conditions present. There is a well-developed midla cyclone centered near Chicago, with a cold front extending to the southwest and a warm front extending to the east. Several areas of high pressure are found along the east coast and in the west. l. Describe the following weather conditions at 7:00 A.M. EST on November 9, 2011. in Nashville, Tennessee 36e N, 870 w: an enlarged copy of the station model is shown here). (a) Temperature by Nashville (b) Dew point 64 140 (c) Wind speed knots 10 (d) Wind direction 51 (e) Pressure mb (f Pressure change over last 3 hours -5 mb ® What explains this change in pressure (h) What explains the wind direction? 2. (a) Which city is more likely to receive precipitation during the next 12 hours, Columbus, Ohio (40° N, 830 W) or Rapid City, South Dakota (44° N, 103 W)? (b) Why?

Explanation / Answer

temperature = 64 f

dew point = 51 f

wind direction will be fro high presure zone to low pressure zone means from coastal areas to middle in the USA.

wind speed is also depends on the differences in the pressure

change in pressure shows that the coastal areas having a high temperature than middle USA because coastal area having a high pressure zone and middle USA having a low pressure zone .

wind drection explains the location of high pressure zone and low pressure zone and the wind direction also shows the coriolis effect because wind direction depends on the coriolis efffect as well as pressure zones

rapid city , south dakota will be recieve more precipitation then columbus because wind which comes from the coastal areas it will be cooled down when it reaches rapid city while columbus is located near the coastal areas, at this time wind will warm .
