(a)
Expert Solution
To determine
Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb
Temperature 37⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 21⁰ F
Sky coverage CLEAR
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb. Temperature 37⁰ F, dew-point temperature with clear sky coverage. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.
(b)
Expert Solution
To determine
Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Current weather CONTINUOUS LIGHT SNOW
Sea-level pressure 999.7 mb
Temperature 27⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 20⁰ F
Sky coverage OVERCAST
Wind speed 23-27 KNOTS
Wind direction NORTH WEST
Pressure change
during last three hours 1.1 mb
Pressure tendency FALLING
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.7 mb. Temperature 27⁰ F, dew-point temperature 20⁰ F with cloudy sky. The current weather of the area is continuous light snow. This weather represents a dry, windy conditions of the area because of high wind, low temperature and dew point temperature. Chances of rain are expected due to falling pressure. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.
(c)
Expert Solution
To determine
Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Sea-level pressure 999.8 mb
Temperature 63⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 60⁰ F
Sky coverage PARTLY CLOUDY
Current weather THUNDER WITH LIGHT RAIN
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.8 mb. Temperature 63⁰ F, dew-point temperature 60⁰ F with partly cloudy sky. The current weather of the area is light rain with thunderstorms. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.

Calculate the elevation of the water table at each well location and write the approximate elevation on the line next to each well. Next, use a colored pencil to draw smooth 10-foot contours that show the shape of the water table. (Start with the 1160-foot contour.) Use a pencil of a different color to draw arrows on the map to indicate the direction of the slope of the water table. a. Toward which direction (downward) does the water table slope? b. Referring to the site of the proposed water well, at approximately what depth below the surface should the proposed well intersect the water table? 2. Assume that a dye was put into well A on May 10, 2017, and detected in well B on May 25, 2018. What was the rate of groundwater movement between the two wells, in centimeters per day?
