Follow the below directions using Figure 5. You can complete this analysis digitally or manually, then upload the resulting figure. Identifying areas of cold and warm air advection are important to the process of winter weather forecasting. Additionally, the 0 °C isotherm at this level is considered an approximate dividing line between rain and snow (at least for areas east of the Rocky Mountains), as snow may remain frozen in the warmer levels below this line. 1. Circle and label one area of cold air advection (in blue) and one area of warm air advection (in red), on Figure 5. 2. Highlight the 0 °C isotherm in Figure 5. Figure 5: 850 mb weather map analysis
$2430 UHR Figure 6: 500 mb weather map analysis 500 mb maps provide forecasters information about cyclone and individual storm motion, as well as a general overview of the larger scale flow pattern. What is the contour interval used in the Figure 6 example? Interval (m): If a surface mid-latitude cyclone formed in the Oklahoma panhandle, in which direction would it move? (Note: remember that these systems tend to move with the upper-level flow) Direction (e.g., SW):
