1 Predicting Weather Conditions Do you have a career as a meteorologist?

2 It is essential for students for know 1. Weather conditions and patterns can be based on weather data collected from various sources. a) Discarded b) Predicted c) Disastrous d) Hurricane

3 Direct Observations and 2. Basic weather conditions can be observed, measured or obtained from. Measurements a) Weatherologist b) Climatologist c) Meteorologist d) Histologist

4 3. In order to make weather predictions, the data should be collected. Direct Observations and Measurements a) Once a year b) Twice a month c) On a regular basis over a period of time d) Whenever you need information

5 Direct Observations and 4. The consistent collection of weather data allows for the development of in weather conditions. a) patterns b) flaws c) conditions d) Storms Measurements

6 Direct Observations and 5. A hurricane s path can be predicted using data on its allowing meteorologists to warn the public. a) Length over time b) Amount over time c) Position over time d) Rain over time Measurements

7 6. The numbers on picture are called isotherms, used on weather maps to indicate. a) A little to a lot of rainfall b) A little to a lot of cloud cover c) High and low temperatures d) High or low pressure systems Weather Maps

8 7. The lines with the numbers on the picture are called isobars, used on weather maps to indicate. a) A little to a lot of rainfall b) A little to a lot of cloud cover c) High and low temperatures d) High or low pressure systems Weather Maps

9 You will need this slide to help you answer questions 8,9,10

10 Weather Maps (draw) 8. from specific locations provide information that can be used to predict weather patterns. a) Station models b) Temperature models c) Hurricane trackers d) Climate maps

11 Weather Maps (draw and circle 9. This picture shows a station model. What is the temperature in that area? temperature) a) 61 F b) 987 F c) +11 F d) 75 F

12 Weather Maps (draw and circle 10.This picture shows a station model. What is the pressure in that area? pressure) a) 50 mb b) 196 mb c) +18 mb d) 42 mb

13 Draw and label both 11.What are 2 ways meteorologist can predict cloud patterns, detect cloud cover, rain or storm location and severe weather? a) Satellite and radar b) Rain gauge c) Radar and news d) Hurricane warnings and satellites

14 Use the video link below to help you answer questions Weather Instruments: The keywords from the question should be what the instrument measures. Then draw the instruments before you watch the video. If the link doesn t work, I added a link to the post as well.

15 Weather Instruments (draw) 12.The instrument in the picture is used to measure wind speed in miles per hour (mph). a) Barometer b) Rain gauge c) Thermometer d) Anemometer

16 Weather Instruments (draw) 13.The instrument in the picture is used to measure wind direction (East, West, North, South). a) Rain gauge b) Wind vane c) Sling psychrometer d) Barometer

17 Weather Instruments (draw) 14. The instrument in the picture is used to measure temperature degrees Fahrenheit or Celcius ( F or C). a) Thermometer b) Wind vane c) Sling psychrometer d) Barometer

18 Weather Instruments (draw) 15. The instrument in the picture is used to measure air pressure in millibars (mb). a) Thermometer b) Wind vane c) Sling psychrometer d) Barometer

19 Weather Instruments (draw) 16. The instrument in the picture is used to measure the amount of precipitation in inches or centimeters (in. or cm). a) Thermometer b) Wind vane c) Rain gauge d) Barometer

20 Weather Instruments (draw) 17. The instrument in the picture has 2 thermometers and is used to measure humidity (the amount of water vapor in the air). a) Thermometer b) Sling psychrometer c) Rain gauge d) Barometer

21 18. What is climate? a) Day to day conditions of the atmosphere b) Average conditions over a long period of time c) Day to day conditions over a long period of time d) When the conditions never change

22 Use the graph below to answer the question. 19.What was the temperature at 9:00 p.m? a) 78 F b) 80 F c) 72 F d) 82 F

23 Use the graph below to answer the question. 20.At what times did the temperature remain constant (the same)? a) 6:00p.m to 9:00p.m b) 9:00a.m to 10:00a.m c) 6:00p.m to 7:00p.m d) 1:00p.m to 2:00p.m
