Q+8
80°W/n Print (or copy and paste) the surface weather
map below (and on the Moodle site) on the
next page, and analyse your copy by drawing
isobars, isotherms (, high- and low-pressure
centers, airmasses, and fronts. I recommend
doing two diagrams. The first with the isobar
drawn on and the second with the isotherms,
fronts, centres and air masses on. You can
hand draw, photograph and upload the
diagrams or draw on the copied diagram with
using your favourite graphics package. If
either of these is not possible then please talk
to Martin in the session. I found drawing
isotherms every 10°F and isobars every 1kPa
worked well and if you need to remind
yourself on the symbols the look in chapter 9
of Stull. There are enough clues on the map to
establish if you are in the northern
hemisphere of southern.

80°W A maritime Polar airmass Initially has a
temperature of 10°C and a relative humidity of
100%. The air mass moves from the Pacific
eastwards across the Olympic, Cascade and
Rocky Mountains picture below. Use a Skew T
Log Thermo-diagram for the ABL (on the
Moodle page) to find temperature, T, dewpoint
temperature, Td and relative humidity, RH at 1
Olympic Mtns. (elevation = 1000 m), 2 Puget
Sound (0 m), 3 Cascade Mtns (1500 m), 4 the
Great Basin (500 m), 5 Rocky Mtns (2000 m), 6
the western Great Plains (1000 m). Look in
Chapter 12 of Stull if stuck. Report your
answers in the table below.
