what is 93% with a good chance of rain.
A rise in air pressure (high pressure) usually indicates what type of weather
what is clear weather
What air mass is mostly likely to form over the Gulf of Mexico
what is mT or Maritime Tropical
What makes high and low pressure systems rotate
what is the Coriolis Effect
A dry bulb is 18℃ there is an 8 degree difference between it and the wet bulb what is the wet-bulb temp. and dew point.
What is 10℃ wet bulb and 4℃
What is the relative humidity if there is no difference between the Dry and Wet bulbs
what is 100%
In 1 atmosphere is how many millibars are there
(Round to the nearest whole millibar)
what is 1013 millibars
what moves air masses in the atmosphere
what are convection currents and trade winds
What is the Coriolis Effect.
The effect causes objects in the atmosphere curve instead of going straight.
If a dry-bulb parcel is 26℃ and the relative humidity is 39% what is the wet-bulb temperature and dew point
wet-bulb is 17℃ and the dew point is 11℃
What is the relationship between Dew Point and Relative Humidity
If the Relative Humidity is higher the difference in Dew Point and the temperature are closer.
In the morning, Milo noticed that the air pressure reading on the barometer was beginning to drop. What kind of weather can he most likely expect in the evening?
The weather will be cloudy with a chance of rain
An air mass created in Idaho (cP) goes over the Great Lakes does the air mass change and if so what is the new air mass
It changes to a mP airmass because of the absorption of water over the great lakes.

[Hint: Israel is in the Northern Hemisphere]
It would curve to the right
