Question

In the Northern Hemisphere, winds in a low-pressure cyclone swirl in a _______ direction.

On a weather map, an area with isobars that are close together can expect _______.
An area experiences warm rainy weather for five days in a row. This area most likely is experiencing a _______ front.
The reason that cold fronts are stronger than warm fronts is due to their higher _______.
The radiosonde is elevated to high levels in the atmosphere through _______.

How do weather balloons collect data about weather?
What are the differences between using weather satellites and weather radar devices to predict the weather?

Answer 1

1. Clockwise
2. Strong winds
3. Warm weather
4. Density

Step-by-step explanation:

A weather balloon is explicitly an high altitude inflatable balloon that takes along the instruments on high to send back the data on air pressure, temperature, humidity and speed of the wind with the help of the tiny, disposable estimating gadget called a radiosonde.

To acquire wind information, they can be followed by radar, radio course finding, or Global Positioning System (GPS).

Weather satellite is used to estimate the weather and climate of the earth. Weather radar is used to determine the precipitation, occurrence of rain, snow etc.

Answer 2

1. counterclockwise

2. wind

3. stationary

4. density

5. weather balloons

6. A weather balloon is filled with either helium or hydrogen. Attached to the balloon is a collection of instruments called a radiosonde. The balloon is released and carries the radiosonde high into the atmosphere. There, the radiosonde gathers and transmits data. Eventually, the balloon pops. A small parachute carries the radiosonde back to Earth, so it can be reused.

7. Weather satellites use images taken from satellites, by which meteorologists can identify storms, precipitation, cloud cover, and even cloud altitude. Weather satellites are helpful when it comes to tracking atmospheric conditions in remote locations. However, weather radar devices, such as Doppler radar, transmit radio waves that bounce off the surface of objects. A receiver then picks up these reflected radio waves. Then, the radar device's display generates a picture of the object. Overall, weather radar devices are effective at predicting precipitation.
