A Few Meteorology Questions..
Hi everyone, i have been practicing a few exam questions and a few questions i was not so sure with. I would be grateful if an explanation could be given:
1. What meteorological situation would create an energy gain shortly after take-off.
a. A sudden gust directly towards the aircraft.
b. An encounter with a gust front ahead of a thunderstorm
c. Flight through a low level wind shear line
( i was thinking the answer was a for this, but maybe b., even thought you should not be flying within the vicinity of the thundercloud)
2. Is the diurnal variation of convective cloud over the sea:
a. nil
b. Very little
C. 'Over the Sea'
(again i thought the answer would be b. due to the specific heat of the water)
3. If you are asked to find the 8000ft wind velocity on metform 214, how do you average the direction and the speed, as well as finding the velocity at an altitude that isnt even specified on the chart?
Many Thanks
Dan
