While secondary depressions maybe frontal or non-frontal, the most common type are frontal which develop on the trailing warm fronts of the primary depressions.
True
False
In January the Polar fronts in the northern hemisphere are aligned east - west.
True
False
A depression having a several isobars and central pressure value of 950hPa is termed as steep depression.
True
False
The center of the low pressure is at the center of the wave, and the surface air circulation develops a typical anticlockwise (Northern Hemisphere) and inward movement.
True
False
If a depression is to develop, the airflow in the upper troposphere must be convergent. T
True
False
Within a frontal depression the warm air usually descends relative to cold air
True
False
The sequence of weather will depend on the position of the observer relative to the center of the occlusion.
True
False
In the weather sequence of a frontal depression to the North of the observer in the N. Hemisphere, at cold front the pressure is rapidly increasing.
True
False
In contrast with frontal depressions, anticyclones move slowly westwards, or may be stationary
True
False
In the subtropics, anticyclone persist for short periods and are termed permanent.
True
False
1 / 1 The term semi-permanent is applied to the anticyclonic conditions which develop seasonally in temperate and tropical zones. T
True
False
As the pressure gradient is slack, the central area of an anticyclone is either calm or has a light and variable winds.
True
False
The airflow is convergent on the surface, but divergent in the upper part of the troposphere with a subsequent downward movement of air in the troposphere, termed subsidence.
True
False
In summer months, a warm anticyclone over land results in high air temperatures during the day.
True
False
A ridge located between two frontal depressions moves slowly over an area, resulting in a short-lived break in the adverse weather of the depression.
True
False
Cyclone” is used on the western side of Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific Ocean.
True
False
It is important to note that all TRS follow such definite paths and speeds.
True
False
In the southern hemisphere (SH), conditions on the right-hand side of storms are more severe than those on their left-hand sides.
True
False
Tropical cyclones gain energy from latent heat, driven by significant thunderstorm activity and condensation of moist air.
True
False
In the southern hemisphere, the action to avoid a TRS when you are in a navigable semi circle is to place wind on the port quarter altering course to port as the wind backs.
True
False
