An aircraft maintains an indicated altitude of 6,500 ft from A (elevation 600 ft AMSL, QNH 1012 hPa) to B (elevation 930 ft AMSL, QNH 977 hPa), with its altimeter setting unchanged at 1012 hPa. Assuming an approximately ISA air column and using 30 ft per hPa for this exercise, what is its estimated height above the surface at B?
An aircraft maintains FL 180 in the Northern Hemisphere, above the friction layer in approximately geostrophic flow, and experiences right drift relative to its intended track. How does its true altitude change as it continues along that track?
The greater the pressure gradient the
Which set of quantities determines geostrophic wind speed?
Under anticyclone conditions in the northern hemisphere, with curved isobars the speed of the gradient wind is
In a typical Northern Hemisphere warm-advection situation ahead of a warm front, how does wind direction generally change with increasing height through the surface friction layer and then through the lower and middle troposphere above it?
A high pressure area (slack pressure gradient) covers part of the Mediterranean Sea and coastal region during the summer. What surface wind direction is likely at an airport at the coast on a sunny afternoon?
Which jet stream blows all year round, over the northern hemisphere?
Which characteristic primarily distinguishes the Tropical Easterly Jet of the Asian summer monsoon from the usual polar-front and subtropical westerly jet streams?
In central Europe, the polar-front jet stream is normally associated with the strongest winds at which level?
