Summary of Possible Weather and Associated Aviation Impacts for Geographic/Topographic Categories Common in the Western United States.

Geographic/Topographic Descriptive Summary of Potential Aviation Impacts
Category of a Possible Weather That Could Impact Based on Weather
of Airport Location Aviation Operations
Along the US West coast,
with steep mountains to the east
(An example of this category is
Santa Barbara Airport, located
on the Southern California Coast,
at an elevation of 10 feet).
Within a valley in elevated terrain
surrounded by high mountains
(An example of this category is
Friedman Memorial Airport, located
in Central Idaho, at an elevation of 5300 feet).
In elevated terrain on the leeside of
high mountains
(An example of this category is Northern Colorado
Regional Airport, located in northern Colorado,
at an elevation of 5000 feet, on the leeside
of the Rocky mountains).

Answer 1

Answer: answer provided in the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weather phenomenons that would impart Aviation Operations in Santa Barbara -

1. Although winters are cold, wet, and partly cloudy here. It is in general favorable for flying. But sometimes strong winds damage this pleasant weather.

2. The Sundowner winds cause rapid warming and a decrease in relative humidity. The wind speed is very high surrounding this area for this type of wind.

3. Cloud is an important factor that affects aviation operations. Starting from April, here the sky is clouded up to November. The sky is overcast (80 to 100 percent cloud cover) or mostly cloudy (60 to 80 percent) 44% on a yearly basis. Thus extra cloud cover can trouble aviation operations.

4. The average hourly wind speed can also be a factor. This also experiences seasonal variations, these variations are studied carefully in the aviation industry. The windier part of the year starts in January and ends in June. In April, the wind speed can reach 9.5 miles per hour.

This and more are some factors to look into when considering wheather conditions that would affect aviation operations.

I hope this was a bit helpful. cheers
