The smaller the scale of weather systems, the (harder, easier) they are to predict.
What is harder
100
It's the one with the higher albedo: Snow or charcoal
What is snow
100
Denver Colorado is generally colder than Cincinnati because of this main reason.
What is it's higher in elevation
100
The total moisture in the air is measured by this: dew point, relative humidity, evaporation
What is dew point
100
Visible satellite pictures show this characteristic of the clouds.
What is the thickness
200
When converting Z time to EST, you subtract this many hours.
What is 5
200
This is the most important determiner of the temperature on a given time for the earth: Length of sunlight, Strength of sunlight, Angle of sunlight
What is angle
200
Fargo, North Dakota is colder than Dallas (despite similar elevations) because of this.
What Fargo is at a higher latitude (farther north)
200
The saturation of the atmosphere is best shown by this: dew point, relative humidity, condensation
What is relative humidity
200
Infrared pictures show this characteristic of the clouds
What is the height
300
The pressure on a surface model reads "971", what is the actual pressure?
What is 997.1 mb
300
When radiation strikes an object, it can be transmitted, absorbed, or this
What is reflected
300
San Francisco has more uniform temperatures through the year compared to Omaha (despite similar latitudes) because of this.
What San Francisco is closer to water.
300
The relative humidity is 100 percent when the difference between the dew point and the temperature is:
What is 0 (they are the same)
300
Locations of rivers or lakes is one way to distinguish snow from clouds on a visible satellite picture. The other way is:
What is loop it!
400
It's the map projection that is most accurate at the equator. Mercator, polar stereographic, or other type?
What is Mercator.
400
Infrared, visible, ultraviolet. It's the primary radiation emitted by the sun
What is visible
400
Summers are warmer, generally, on the east coast than the west coast because:
What is air off the land on east coast, off the colder water on the west coast.
400
The day is considered "humid" when the dew point reaches this point: 55,60,65
What is 60
400
The maximum effective range of doppler radar is: 50 miles, 100 miles, 175 miles, 250 miles
What is 175 miles
500
Connecting lines of equal value (like pressure or temperature) is called this.
What isoplething
500
Greenhouse gasses trap and emit this type of radiation back to earth.
What is infrared
500
Temperatures in the suburbs of New York city are generally warmer than the suburbs of Pittsburgh because of this
What is the heat island
500
Relative humidity is the best way to show: Total moisture in the air, the chances of seeing clouds, the low temperature for the day
What is the chances of seeing clouds (saturation of the air)
500
Shape of the snow flake is one reason snow is harder to detect with radar. Name another reason
What is snow clouds are lower OR What is snow is less dense
