Document Summary
Please answer in the booklet provided; please attach your hodograph, and any other gure(s) that illustrate your working. The strongest updraft at the 850 hpa level has a magnitude in the range. Interpret your nding relative to figures (1, 2). Table 1: abbreviated yyq sounding (churchill, manitoba) for 12z saturday 7 march 2010: giving pressure, height, temperature, wind direction and speed (knots) at mandatory levels. p. 87: calculations (3 x 2 6 %) For the following calculations please refer to figure (4). Note that your computations will be approximate, i. e. unique and exact answers do not exist. Treat the nearby 300 and 288 dam height contours as the basis for the calculation. Equations and data: one full barb on the wind vector corresponds to about 5 m s 1, and 1 degree of latitude corresponds to a distance of 111 km, = t p0 p r/cp.
