Weather and Climate Exam 2 Review

a.) After a warm front passes through an area we can expect ❌ temperatures, winds from the ❌, and higher dewpoints.
b.) After a ❌ passes through an area we can expect lower temperatures, winds from the ❌, and lower dewpoints.
c.) After a dryline passes through we can expect similar temperatures, but ❌ dewpoints.
d.) If we have cool, dry conditions both before and after a front passes, it must be an ❌.

Match the air mass with the description:
a.) During the night, temperatures plummet into the negatives, in fact its so bitterly cold that President Mazey cancels classes. This describes an ❌ air mass.
b.) It's so hot and humid that it is unbearable to go outside. This describes a ❌ air mass.
c.) It's a cool, dry fall day, perfect for going on a walk and crunching leaves while drinking pumpkin spice lattes. This describes a ❌ air mass.
d.) It is a hot, dry day. It's like living in a desert. This describes a ❌ air mass.
e.) It is a cool, rainy day, the kind that needs a jacket and umbrella. This describes a ❌ air mass.

❌ is satellite based on reflectivity. Dark regions in an image are associated with a ❌ albedo, whereas bright regions are associated with a ❌ albedo. The ❌ regions often coincide with clouds. This form of imagery is not very effective during the ❌.

❌ detects radiation at the infrared wavelengths. Colder clouds appear ❌ while ❌ objects are warm. This imagery can be used during the ❌.
