When a warm front crosses a mountain range
and encounters colder air on the lee side of the
mountain, which of the following phenomena
may occur?
1.
The warm front moves across the top of the
cold air as an upper warm front
2.
Overrunning
3.
Inversions are wiped out
4.
Each of the above
4-24.
Occluded fronts are classified as which of the
following types?
1.
Cold only
2.
Warm only
3.
Cold or warm
4.
Cold, warm or cool
4-25.
What is the primary difference between a warm
and cold occlusion?
1.
The temperature of the warm air
2.
The temperature of the cold air
3.
The temperature of the cool air
4.
The location of the associated upper front
in relation to the surface front
4-26.
Which of the following occurrences takes
place in the cold-occlusion process?
1.
Cold air displaces the warm air to the rear
of a warm front and then undercuts the
relatively cooler air in advance of the warm
front
2.
Cool air displaces the warm air to the rear
of a warm front and then rides up over the
colder retreating air ahead of the warm
front
3.
Warm air displaces the cold air in advance
of the warm front and rides up over cool air
behind the cold front
4.
Cold air replaces warm air and then
overruns relatively cooler air ahead of the
warm front
4-27.
How is a cold occlusion designated that crosses
the Rocky Mountains and encounters deep,
cold air over the Plateau or Western Plains?
1.
As an occlusion
2.
As a cold front
3.
As an upper cold front
4.
As a warm front
4-28.
Where does MOST of the precipitation occur
with a cold occlusion?
1.
Ahead of the occlusion, if the occlusion is
old
2.
To the rear of the occlusion in the
occlusions initial stages of development
3.
Just ahead of the occlusion
4.
Just to the rear of the occlusion
4-29.
How are the isotherms affected as an occlusion
matures?
1.
They
become
more
parallel
to
the
occlusion on the cold air side
2.
They
become
more
parallel
to
the
occlusion on the warm air side
3.
They become more perpendicular as they
cross the front
4.
Warm and cold pockets form, and no
isotherms cross the front
4-30.
Which of the following situations is conducive
to the formation of a warm occlusion?
1.
The presence of a cPk air mass in the Gulf
of Mexico
2.
The invasion of mPk air into the Great
Plains
3.
The presence of cpk air over Canada, a
warm front along its western periphery,
and an approaching mPk air mass
4.
The development of a low at the southern
tip of the Appalachian Mountains
4-31.
Where are the pressure falls associated with a
warm occlusion located?
1.
In advance of the upper warm front
2.
In advance of the occlusions surface
position only
3.
In the pressure trough behind the occlusion
4.
In advance of the upper cold front and the
surface occlusion
4-32.
In a warm occlusion, where is the most severe
weather located?
1.
At the apex during the developmental stage
2.
At the point where the warm air is at its
highest altitude
3.
In the warm sector equatorward of the apex
of the occlusion
4.
At the northernmost extension of a mature
occlusion
