Question

Look closely at the sounding below. Which statement would best describe the processes occurring at this site, and the ultimate type of precipitation that would fall?

      Look closely at the sounding below. Which statement would best describe the processes occurring at this site, and the ultimate type of precipitation that would fall? A. ice crystals and snow would develop within the cloud layer, melt as they encounter the warm elevated layer, and refreeze into sleet as wet bulb (evaporational cooling) effects take place B. ice crystal/snow development would occur aloft, but a deep warm layer with wet bulb temperatures above 0C would produce a rain event C. only liquid hydrometeors would exist within the clouds, and with a substantial warm layer close to the surface, rain would be the most likely outcome D. temperatures within the cloud layer would not support ice crystal development, but the subfreezing thermal profile would support a freezing rain event

Explanation / Answer

B. ice crystal/snow development would occur aloft, but a deep warm layer with wet bulb temperatures above 0C would produce a rain event
