An aircraft is flying in the southern hemisphere at low altitude (less than 2000') and going directly away from a centre of low pressure. What direction, relative to the aircraft, does the wind come from?
You are flying from east to west in the northern hemisphere at the 500 hPa pressure surface. Which of the following statements is correct?
Which retarding force slows the surface wind and allows it to cross isobars toward the centre of a low-pressure system?
Forecast information shows SCT CU 060/100 and winds of 320°/15 kt at both FL 050 and FL 100. At FL 055 over flat terrain, turbulence associated with daytime cumulus convection is encountered. Which motion directly causes this convective turbulence?
For a simplified Northern Hemisphere land-friction exercise, assume that wind veers by 30° and doubles in speed between the surface and 2,000 ft AGL, then round the speed to the nearest 5 kt. If the surface METAR reports 30012KT, which wind does this model give at 2,000 ft AGL?
During periods of undisturbed radiation weather, overland, the
An aircraft is approaching under visual flight rules an airfield whose runway is parallel to the coast. When downwind over the sea, the airfield is on the right. What wind effect should be anticipated on final approach and landing during a sunny afternoon?
Which jet stream is connected with a surface front system?
An aircraft over Western Europe is crossing a jet stream 2500 FT below its core at right angles. While crossing, the outside temperature is increasing. The prevailing wind is
Use a simplified seasonal circulation model for a July flight from Stockholm to Rio de Janeiro (23°S) at FL350. Assume Stockholm lies poleward of the Northern Hemisphere polar-front jet. Which listed sequence of major jet streams is most consistent with the southbound route? Actual jet positions and encounters vary with the synoptic situation.
