304 When a wind changes direction from Southerly to South-Westerly, it is said to have:

305 A typical warm front extends horizontally for approximately:

306 Following the passage of a typical cold front, an observer at the surface would expect to experience which of the following conditions?

307 Mist and fog occur when small water droplets are suspended in the air, hence reducing visibility. What is the difference between mist and fog?

308 Over land in mid latitudes, which statement concerning the diurnal variation oftemperature is most appropriate?

312 Cloud described as 'a transparent whitish veil of fibrous or smooth appearance totally or partly covering the sky producing a halo phenomenon', indicates:

313 As a parcel of air rises, it cools by the process of:

314 The passage of a cold front means that the pressure:

318 When a wind changes direction from northly to north-westerly, it is said to have:

319 You depart from aerodrome of Kastelorizo (LGKJ), (situated 474 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) with a QNH of 1011 hpa set on the altimeter subscale. The flight is conducted towards an area of low pressure and you fail to update the subscale setting (due to being non-radio). You anticipate a visual landing at the aero¬drome οf Kasteli(LGTL). What will the altimeter read when the aircraft lands at the destination aerodrome, which has an elevation of 1180 feet AMSL, if the QNH is 994 hpa?

320 Density will be low when the:

327 The determined surface temperature is +13°C and at 4000 feet it is +6°C. The state of the atmosphere may be described as:

330 A powerful wind over a mountain range which causes rotor cloud and strong downdraughts, may be marked by:

331 Given a surface temperature of +22°C and a dewpoint of +10°C, at approxi¬mately what height is the base of any cumuliform cloud likely to be?

334 What does the following illustration depict? (See Fig.33)

337 As a warm front passes, the weather gradually becomes:

340 When flying towards an area of low pressure at a constant indicated altitude the true altitude is:

341 A thin, white patch, sheet or layer of cloud without shading, composed of very small elements in the form of grains or ripples joined together or separate and regularly arranged.' To what type of cloud does this statement refer?

344 If the 2000 feet wind is 240035 knots, the most likely surface wind is:

345 An aircraft is flying on a VFR cross-country. The altimeter is indicating 2500 feet with the current Regional QNH set on the subscale. It is heading towards an area of low pressure. If the pilot fails to reset the subscale to the new Regional QNH, the aircraft will:

348 Lumpy or heaped cloud belongs to which family?

349 . An inversion means that the temperature …………………………. as height is gained

353 Water vapour changes to ice. This process is called…………………………….. and …………...………….latent heat.

354 Which of the following c onditions are the most suitable for the formation ofradiation fog?

355 Which weather conditions should be expected beneath a low-level temperature inversion layer when the relative humidity is high?

356 Decode the following METAR for Kavala (LGKV): 301220 LGKV 24015KT 200V280 8000 -RA SCT010 BKN025 OVC080 18/15 Q993 TEMPO 3000 RA BKN008 OVC020=

358 Maximum temperature occurs at approximately what time and why?

359 If you stand with your back to the wind in the northern hemisphere, you assume that the low pressure is:

362 Select the correct following statement concerning high level cloud:

363 If the surface wind is 240015 knots, what is it expected to be at 2000 feet?
