Question

What is the atmospheric stability in a thunderstorm environment?

(a) stable (b) neutral(c) unstable(d) conditionally unstable

Forecasts from numerical weather prediction models will always have inherent uncertainty because:

(a) the equations used in these models are often inexact.(b) there will always be errors is specifying the initial state the atmosphere.(c) the models have inadequate resolution to resolve all atmospheric processes. (d) the models cannot realistically capture all the physical processes that occur in the real atmosphere. (e) all of the above

Explanation / Answer

Instablity depends on Moisture and lapse rate of warmer air at lower levels.So Thunderstorm environment is conditionally unstable. (d).

In weather forecast models Equations used are linear partial differential equations without exact analytical solutions,computer simulations can only predict future weather based on previous staisitcs which is inaccurate and capturing the physical processes which are dynamic in nature and are influenced by a variety of factors is realistically impossible. So all the given options are the valid reasons. (e)
