Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
The measurement of surface temperature is made:
Respuesta
  • At ground level.
  • At approximately 10 metres above ground level.
  • At approximately 4 feet above ground level.
  • At approximately 4 metres above ground level

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Cloud cover will reduce diurnal variation of temperature because:
Respuesta
  • Incoming solar radiation is partially reflected back to space and outgoing terrestrial radiation is reflected back to earth.
  • Incoming solar radiation is re-radiated back to space and atmospheric heating by convection will stop at the level of the cloud layer
  • The cloud stops the sun rays getting through to the earth and also reduces outgoing conduction.
  • Incoming solar radiation is partially reflected back to space and outgoing terrestrial radiation is mostly re-radiated from the cloud layer back to the surface.

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Most accurate temperatures above the ground level are obtained by:
Respuesta
  • Tephigram
  • Aircraft reports
  • Temperature probes.
  • Radio sonde.

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
The diurnal variation of temperature is:
Respuesta
  • Greater over sea than overland
  • Less over desert areas than over temperate grassland.
  • Reduced anywhere by the presence of cloud.
  • Increased anywhere as wind speed increases.

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Over continents and oceans, the relative temperature conditions are:
Respuesta
  • Warmer in winter over land, colder in summer over sea
  • Colder in winter over land, warmer in winter over sea.
  • Cold in winter over land and sea
  • Warmer in summer over land and sea.

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
The process of change of state from a liquid mass to a gas mass is:
Respuesta
  • Condensation in which latent heat is released.
  • Evaporation in which latent heat is released
  • Condensation in which latent heat is absorbed
  • Evaporation in which latent heat is absorbed by the mass

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Air is classified as dry or saturated according to its relative humidity. If the relative humidity were 95% the air would be classified as
Respuesta
  • Conditionally saturated.
  • Not saturated.
  • Saturated
  • Dry

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
On a wet bulb thermometer in an unsaturated atmosphere there will be a reduction of temperature below that of the dry bulb thermometer because:
Respuesta
  • Heat is absorbed during the process of condensation.
  • Heat is released during the process of condensation.
  • Heat is absorbed by the thermometer during the process of evaporation
  • Heat is released from the thermometer during the process of evaporation.

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Relative humidity is:
Respuesta
  • Air temperature over wet bulb temperature * 100.
  • Air temperature over dew point temperature * 100.
  • The actual mixing ratio of water vapour in a sample of air over the maximum mixing ratio of water vapour that this sample can contain * 100
  • The maximum amount of water vapour that a sample of air can contain over the actual amount of water vapour the sample does contain * 100.

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Absolute humidity is
Respuesta
  • The number of water droplets in a given quantity of air
  • The mass of water vapour that a volume of air holds
  • The maximum amount of water vapour that a given quantity of air can hold.
  • The maximum number of water droplets that a given quantity of air can hold.

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
Wet bulb temperature would normally be lower than the dry bulb temperature because
Respuesta
  • condensation causes a release of latent heat.
  • evaporation causes cooling of the bulb.
  • latent heat is absorbed by the bulb thermometer.
  • of condensation on the muslin wick of the bulb

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
The wet bulb temperature
Respuesta
  • Is measured using a hydromete
  • Is the minimum temperature to which a thermometer bulb can be cooled by the evaporation of water
  • Measures the dew point of air
  • Is the minimum temperature reached by the surface of the earth as measured by a thermometer placed 1.2 metres above the ground.

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
Which one of the following statements relating to atmospheric humidity is correct:
Respuesta
  • If the air temperature falls then the absolute humidity must increase
  • The absolute humidity is the mass of water vapour contained in unit volume of air.
  • The diurnal variation of dewpoint temperature is greatest when skies are clear at night
  • The dewpoint temperature is the temperature indicated by the wet bulb thermometer.

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
When condensation takes place, the higher temperature, the _____ the amount of latent heat_____:
Respuesta
  • lesser released
  • grater absorbed
  • greater released
  • lesser absorbed

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
When water vapour changes to ice:
Respuesta
  • Latent heat is absorbed.
  • Specific heat is released
  • Latent heat is released.
  • Specific heat is absorbed.

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
Throughout the 24hrs of a day the Relative Humidity can be expected to:
Respuesta
  • Increase during the day and decrease at night.
  • Stay reasonably constant throughout the 24 hours.
  • Reduce during the day and increase at night.
  • Only change with a change of airmass.

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
During a night with a clear sky, surface temperature will_____RH will_____ and dewpoint will_____:
Respuesta
  • Fall, rise rise
  • Rise, rise, fall.
  • Fall, rise, remain the same.
  • Fall, fall, remain the same

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
A change of state directly from a solid to a vapour or vice versa is:
Respuesta
  • Insolation
  • Condensation
  • Evaporation
  • Sublimation

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
The instrument used for measuring the humidity of air is a:
Respuesta
  • Hydrometer
  • Hygrometer
  • Wet bulb thermometer
  • Hygroscope

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
The process of change of state from a gas to a liquid is:
Respuesta
  • Evaporation in which latent heat is absorbed.
  • Evaporation in which latent heat is released.
  • Condensation in which latent heat is absorbed.
  • Condensation in which latent heat is released.
