ForPart 1of your initial post: follow the specific instructions inM5 Surface and 500 mb Map Discussion (DOCX).Download M5 Surface and 500 mb Map Discussion (DOCX).Choose and post only ONE of the completed mini-lessons to the discussion board as your initial post. Title your post with the title of your chosen lesson as indicated in the file.

Note: the mini-lessons is listed below

In the lessons, your will be referencing the following specific 500 mb and surface maps (also included in the instructions file):

500-mb Height Contours (noaa.gov)

WPC Surface Analysis Archive (noaa.gov)

Lesson Title: 500 mb map orientation

The 500 mb map is considered an isobaric map, meaning that everywhere on the map, the pressure is equal to _______.

The solid contours on the 500 mb map are called isoheights, lines of constant _______ (in tens of meters) of the 500 mb pressure surface above sea level. The isoheights on the 500 mb map are observed to be in the 5000 meter (18,000 feet) range. The contours are generated from upper air sounding data.

Dashed lines on the 500 mb indicate lines of constant ________, called isotherms, the values of which are generally increasing / decreasing going northward.

The barbs on the 500 mb map indicate the wind ____ and ____ , also determined from upper air sounding data.

ForPart 2of your initial post: based on the knowledge you've acquired in this module regarding atmospheric forces and how they are visualized on weather maps, formulate a few statements that address questions you anticipate your students might have at the completion of your mini-lesson, and/or what additional information or resources you may need to provide your students to clarify their understanding. Post these statements below your lesson for Part 1.
