1. The pressure announced on last night’s television weather broadcast was 29.92. Explain how this was measured and give the units. Would this be considered an unusually large or low pressure value? A pressure announced on the weather forecast of 29.92 is an average measurement. It is measured with a barometer and in the United States the units of measure are inches of mercury‚ or inHg. This is what meteorologist are referring to in their forecasts. 29.92 inHg is a measurement within the normal

same rate from lower to higher. Pressure increases speed increases as winds continue to move from higher to lower pressures‚ but are moving without a “boost” from the Coriolis effect. 4. Explain why it is much more difficult to measure snowfall amount than rainfall amount. a. There are a couple conditions that make measuring snow fall more difficult than measuring rain but a major factor is wind; wind easily affects snow fall (drifting). Three or more sites are used to present and average snow fall

the terrain at elevation which forces moist air to condense and fall out as rainfall along the sides of mountains. On the leeward side of mountains‚ desert climates can exist due to the dry air caused by downslope flow which causes heating and drying of the air mass. The movement of the monsoon trough‚ or intertropical convergence zone‚ brings rainy seasons to savannah climes. The urban heat island effect leads to increased rainfall‚ both in amounts and intensity‚ downwind of cities. Global warming is

STUDY OF ROAD ACCIDENTS IN INDIA Introduction: Civil Engineering Seminar topic on the "Study of Road Accidents in India”. Road accidents are one of the causes of disability‚ injury and death. India has the highest road traffic accident rate worldwide with over 140000 deaths annually‚ beating even China. Every hour nearly 14 lives are lost due to road accidents. Most accidents occur during peak hours considered an ‘unsafe’ or dangerous time due to complex flow pattern of vehicular traffic. Thus

There is a very low precipitation of less than five inches a year which is coupled with strong‚ dry winds. There is a very large annual amount of snowfall in the region which surprisingly is advantageous to plant and animal life as the snow provides and insulation layer on the surface of the ground.
