Name Section EXERCISE 19 PROBLEMS-PART III The following questions are based on Figure 19-4, the 500-Millibar map. Figure 19-4: 5000-Millibar Height Contours map for November 9, 2011. (From Daily Weather Maps, National Weather Service) 1. What is the highest recorded velocity of upper elevation winds shown on the 500-Millibar map? knots 2. With a blue pencil, draw a series of arrows across the map from west to east to indicate the approximate position and wind direction of the jet stream. 3. Locate the high pressure cell centered over Idaho near Pocatello (shown in Figure 19-3 at about 45 N, 110° W). Based on the upper elevation wind patterns, in which direction would you expect this pressure cell to travel over the next few hours? Look carefully at the parallels and meridians, and be as specific as possible. To the 119
