Question 1
kinetic energy is converted to potential energy during cyclone intensification
the cyclone is most intense at the moment it starts to occlude
large temperature gradients across the polar front represent large amounts of available
potential energy
latent heat released in the production of clouds generates storm energy
Which statement is not correct regarding the Polar Front Theory of a developing
mid-latitude cyclone?
7 pts
Question 2
increasing; exceeds
A strengthening low-pressure system (sea-level pressure ________ with time) has
upper-level divergence that _______ low-level convergence, resulting in weight
loss in the central air columns.
