Chapter 11, Problem 5E

Next to each 500-mb map (Figures 11-3, 11-4, and 11-5), describe how the 24-, 48-, and 72-hour 500-mb wind predictions, valid for 1200z on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, influenced the predictions made for the direction and speed of the two surface lows shown in Figure 11-2. (For example, for the low off the west coast in Figure 11-3, you could write: "The surface low was predicted to move a relatively short distance to the east between 1200z Tuesday and 0000z Wednesday in response to light westerly 500-mb winds.")
