EAS372 Midterm: EAS 372 UofA Midterm 1 2010
Document Summary
The strongest updraft at the 850 hpa level has a magnitude in the range. Pa/s: according to the nam model run initialized at 06utc today, the central (sea-level cor- rected) pressure of the deepest low in the forecast domain (at 12z today) is, interpretation of weather situation. (6 x 1/2 3%) K: referring to fig. (5), compute the geostrophic 500 hpa windspeed at fort smith (ysm, the station just north of the ne corner of alberta) and compare with the reported speed. State whether this corresponds to warming or cooling. , the potential temperature [k] of air whose actual pressure and tem- perature are (p, t ), ie. the temperature that air would have if compressed adiabatically to pressure p0. The exponent involves the gas constant for air (r = 287 j kg 1 k 1) and the speci c heat of air at constant pressure (cp 1000 j kg 1 k 1).
