Given the flow that you have drawn in question number 1 and the location of the cold and warm air masses below (denoted as “COLD AIR” and “WARM AIR,” respectively), draw arrows illustrating where the air masses should move relative to the high and the low (hint: air masses “go with the flow”).

 

 

ESCI 1010 Lab 5
Atmospheric Motion
Before Lab: This lab covers mainly chapter 4 but also a part of chapter 8 in the textbook. Review pages
92-116 and 218-234 in your Weather and Climate textbook. Pay special attention to the sections
entitled "The Distribution of Pressure", "Winds Aloft and Near the Surface", "Anticyclones, Cyclones,
Troughs, and Ridges" from chapter 4 and "The Upper Troposphere" from chapter 8.
Summary: This lab concentrates on understanding the motion of air around high and low pressure
centers and identifying these systems and the jet stream on weather maps.
LAB EXERCISE
1. Wind blows in specific directions around areas of high and low pressure. Draw the Northern
Hemispheric airflow pattern around the high pressure (H) and low pressure (L) areas below.
