1. The pressure announced on last night’s television weather broadcast was 29.92. Explain how this was measured and give the units. Would this be considered an unusually large or low pressure value?

2. If the earth did not rotate, how would you expect winds to blow with respect to high and low pressure centers?

3. If the pressure gradient force remained the same but the earth’s rate of rotation decreased slightly, would you expect the speed of the geostrophic wind to increase, decrease or remain about the same?

4. Explain why it is much more difficult to measure snowfall amount than rainfall amount.

5. Would you expect to find a subsidence inversion to be associated with high or low pressure? What effects might a subsidence inversion have on weather conditions at the ground?
