Practice questions
If high cirrus is followed by lower dense clouds how can weather change be explained?If droplet growth and lower air conditions both matter for precipitation what is the correct conclusion?How can growth of ice crystals in a mixed cloud accelerate precipitation?If a cloud has many droplets but most are very tiny why will heavy rainfall not occur immediately?If air warms on the leeward slope after rain on the windward slope why does cloud formation decrease?Hail growth in cumulonimbus depends on which micro process?Why can rainfall continue for a long time when a broad front is present in cyclonic rainfall?If falling snowflakes melt in a warm layer below and then reach a cold surface what form is possible at the ground?If a cloud has enough moisture but very few condensation nuclei why can droplet formation be slow?If updrafts keep precipitation particles in a cloud for longer what effect can occur on precipitation?Rain and drizzle are both liquid yet why are they separated in weather study?If high cirrus clouds are followed gradually by dense layered clouds what can it indicate?Why is a high mountain alone not sufficient for orographic rainfall?If a cloud has ice above and liquid droplets below what atmospheric structure does it show?If collision and coalescence are weak in a cloud what will be the effect on rain formation?If a cumulus cloud grows vertically and develops an anvil-like top what does it indicate?If a cloud is dark but lower air is warm and dry why can surface rainfall decrease?Why does a cloud band form along a front in cyclonic rainfall?When does hailstorm risk increase if precipitation particles circulate inside a cloud for a long time?How can the areal extent difference between nimbostratus rain and convectional rain be understood?
