On an upper air chart, normally we find warm air associated with ---- pressure, and cold air associated with ---- pressure

If upper level divergence excceeds surface convergence, the air pressure at the center of the low will----, and the isobars will become----tightly packed.

The polar jet stream is strongest in the winter when surface temperature contrasts are greatest.

The continental united states (not including alaska or hawaii) lies within a ---- wind belt

In honolulu, Hawaii (latitude 21 N), you would likely experience winds blowing from the----

The wind around a surface low pressure center in the southern hemisphere blows ---- the center

Suppose that the winds aloft are geostrophic and blowing from the north. With the same orientation of isobars at the surface, the winds would blow from the

We can generally expect the air to be --- above areas of surface low pressure and ---- above areas of surface high pressure

While fly fishing in a mountain stream, you notice that the wind is blowing uphill. From this you might deduce that the wind is a

Many of the worlds deserts are found near 30 latitude because

Clouds, fogs, and precipitation are more likely to form where prevailing winds are upslope than where the winds are downslope
