Great job!

Question 2 1 / 1 pts

Suppose that an air parcel is pushed vertically a small distance away from its
starting altitude. If this parcel is in statically STABLE air, then it would tend
to:

stay at its new altitude

return to its starting altitude

move to the ground

move further away from its starting altitude

Great job!

Question 3 1 / 1 pts

If CAPE were large (greater than 2000 J/kg), then you could anticipate the
following factor that might affect your flight.

there is a coating of ice that acts like a cape over your wings

strong thunderstorms are likely

the air is statically stable

you are near a coast line

turbulence could be weak in clouds

Great job.

Question 4 1 / 1 pts

Given the follow sounding (hint, the equation is provided as Fig. 3b1). T =
0°C at z = 2 km. And T = 25°C at z = 0 km.
What is the name of the static stability in this layer?

(impossible to determine)

neutral

unstable

stable

Great job!

Question 6 1 / 1 pts

The weather associated with occluded fronts are most like the weather in

cold fronts

warm fronts

stationary fronts

dry lines

both cold and warm fronts

Great job!

Question 7 1 / 1 pts

For warm fronts, the type of clouds expected are

dust cloud

cumuliform clouds
