500MB HEIGHT: FORECAST FOR 2023-11-26 06Z Ma -5740- -5380- -5560- 5440- -5500- 5800- -5620- -5680- -5320- 5560- -5680- 5320- 5380- 5440- 5740- -5200- 5800- 5140. -5080. 5860- 2. Let's switch to the 500mb height map. a. On the 500mb height map, label trough axes with a solid line, and ridge axes with a dashed line. b. Based on where are the trough and ridge located relative to the regions of warm and cold advection at the surface, what do you expect will happen to the ridge and trough - meaning, will they intensify or dissipate? C. Circle (with a dashed line) and label regions of convergence and divergence on either side of the 500mb trough. d. Place an X on the 500mb height map in the same geographic location as the X on the surface map (where the center of the mid-latitude cyclone is). e. Compare the location of upper level convergence and divergence (part c.) to the location of the surface cyclone (the "X" from part d.). is divergence or convergence occurring above the low? f. Explain how upper level convergence and divergence affect the development of the surface low pressure system. g. Based on your previous answer, what do you expect will happen to the mid-latitude cyclone in the next 12hr? 3. Thermal Circulations. a. Draw a diagram describing the temperature, pressure, and circulation (wind) associated with a sea breeze (surface winds blowing from ocean to land). b. Draw a diagram illustrating the temperature, pressure, and circulation (wind) associated with a land breeze (surface winds blowing from land to ocean). c. The image to the right is a picture of Sri Lanka, taken by the MODIS instrument (on a polar orbiting satellite). What time of day do you think the image was taken: early morning, noon, or late afternoon? Hint: look at the clouds near the coast!
