1. True or False? Environmental wind shear with a magnitude of 15 m/s and a shea

ID: 110387 • Letter: 1

Question

1. True or False? Environmental wind shear with a magnitude of 15 m/s and a shear depth of less than 3 km suggests that supercell formation is very likely.

2. True or False? A cold pool in the tropics will likely be much stronger than a cold pool in Minnesota.

3. True or False: In a moderately to strongly sheared environment, the downshear side of the cold pool has enhanced lift.

4. Which of the following combinations of cold pool propagation speed and low-level vertical wind shear gives an optimal state for cold pool lifting?

propagation speed = 40 knots

low-level vertical wind shear = 40 knots

propagation speed = 25 knots

low-level vertical wind shear = 40 knots

propagation speed = 50 knots

low-level vertical wind shear = 40 knots

propagation speed = 40 knots

low-level vertical wind shear = 40 knots

propagation speed = 25 knots

low-level vertical wind shear = 40 knots

propagation speed = 50 knots

low-level vertical wind shear = 40 knots

Explanation / Answer

1. False( supercell formation is likely when wind shear wlis less than 10m/s)

2.true ( intersecting cold pools trigger more convection than the normal ones)

3 .true
