Practice questions
If warm air slowly rises over cold air which rainfall is more likely?In which condition will it be most difficult for cloud droplets to become fallable?If clouds sometimes appear over a rain shadow area but rain remains low what can be the reason?If a storm cloud has supercooled droplets aloft why does hail formation chance increase?If temperature changes sharply in lower air what difficulty can occur in identifying precipitation?If a cloud is dark but vertical development is weak what is the more balanced conclusion?If droplets fall from a cloud but air is strongly turbulent what effect can occur on droplet size?If moisture is high and uplift is continuous why does precipitation chance from cloud increase?If widespread layered clouds change into vertically developed clouds how can rainfall style change?If surface rainfall is low but falling water from cloud is seen on radar what explanation is possible?Why is it incomplete to treat clouds and precipitation as the same process?If moisture cooling droplet growth and favourable lower air occur together through the air column what is the conclusion?If updrafts keep droplets inside a cloud for a long time before falling how can precipitation nature change?If moist maritime air strikes a mountain and gives rain on the windward side what is the main cause of dryness on the leeward side?In which situation can clouds be visible but no rainfall be measured at the ground?If ice crystals and supercooled droplets coexist in a mixed phase cloud which result is more likely for precipitation?If the number of condensation nuclei in a cloud is very high what micro effect can occur on rain formation?If warm air slowly rises over cold air which type of rainfall is more likely?If a cumulus cloud grows rapidly upward and forms an anvil-like top what does it indicate?If lower air layers are above freezing point in what form can ice crystals formed aloft reach the ground?
