Question

1. Do warmer temperatures tend to lead to higher or lower air pressure at the surface of the earth? HIGHER 500 AND 850 MB HEIGHTS RELATE TO AIR EXPANDING AND BEING LESS DENSE AT THE SURFACE.

2. Make a specific statement or observation referencing how air reactions to temperatures with references to expanding or compressing air. In turn, what impact should these processes have on surface air pressure readings.

Propose a NULL hypothesis.(Make a clear testable hypothesis statement relating how surface temperatures and air pressure are likely related)

Example: The two classes have NO differences on test scores.

Example 2: Air temperatures has _______ impact on surface and upper air level air readings

What word would you use to make example two a correct null hypothesis for this project?

Explanation / Answer

1) Warmer temperatures will result in the formation of a low pressure region over the surface. With the increase in surface temperatures the air parcel in contact will heat up. This will cause the air parcel to rise, creating a zone of low pressure.

2) Temperature and volumetric change in the air parcel are related by the laws of thermodynamics. When an air parcel expands adiabatically, its temperature will fall to maintain a constant internal energy. In the other way round when a air parcel is compressed, its temperature rises.

3) The null hypothesis would be- Increase in surface temperature results in the formation of low pressure zones.

Example 2- Reverse.... Increase in temperature decreases the air pressure.
