ind pusscnges, but hol the ar n the balloon) on such a balloon flight is 600 kg. If the ground cruising altitude of 900 hPa, determine the temperature of the air inside the balloon 6. Show th equation 3.2 class) temperature is 25°C, the lapse rate is zero, and the balloon is in hydrostatic equilibrium at a at pressure decreases with increasing height at about 1 hPa per 15 m at the 500 hPa level using 9 in Wallace and Hobbs. (Refer to example in WH Exercise 3.3 on Page 70, and example in hurricane with a central pressure of940 hPa is surrounded by a region with a pressure of 1010 hPa ssure field vanishes (i.e a surface is perfectly flat). Estimate the average temperature difference between the center of The storm is located over an ocean region. At 200 hPa the depression in the pre e nurricane and its surroundings in the laver between the surface and 200 hPa. Assume that the mean te mperature of this layer outside the hurricane is -3 °C and ignore the virtual temperature correction. 8. What are the three atmospheric state variables discussed in class? Describe in your own words how they are related. s tm Calculate the 1000-500mb thickness for a layer with a mean virtual temperature of 10C and for a mean virtual temperature of 0°C. By how much does the thickness of the layer change? 10. Assuming a scale height of 8km, calculate the sea level pressure at the following locations using the table below. Which city has the highest mean sea level pressure? The lowest? City Washington, DC Columbus, OH Denver, CO Height Above Sea Level Surface Pressure 1010 mb 988 mb 840 mb 248 m 1656 m 39 m Los Angeles, CA 1015 mb 11. Under what condition(s) does the hypsometric equation predict an exponential decrease of pressu with height? 1uplain why if a low pressure system is colder than its surroundings, the amplitude of the

Explanation / Answer

Sea level pressure is p0. Surface level pressure is p and calculated from a height and mean sea level pressure.
