Question

1.

Given the following surface data, plot the values in standard station model format in the boxes below. (7pt)

Temperature	Station 1 68	Station 2 25	Station 3 103
Dew point	58	12	34
Wind direction	southwest	northeast	south
Wind speed	20 knots	35 kt	5 kt
Current weather	light rain	moderate snow	none
Sea level pressure	1001.3 mb	989.3 mb	1010.3 mb
Cloud cover	mostly cloudy	overcast	clear

Station 1

Station 2

Station 3

Answer 1

STATION 1 Cmorty cloudy afprox 751.) Cloud over Tempera tute >Sea-level PMessuke 68 013 Curent weathere 58 Wind speed amd dineetion Des-peint temperatuke 0C

STATION 2 893 12

STATION 3 103 103 34

In case of wind direction, which is given by the direction from where the wind is blowing, the bigger barbs indicate 10 knots and the smaller barbs indicate 5 knots.

The symbols of light rain and moderate snow are given as double dots and triple asterisks respectively.

And the pressure is denoted with its preceding 9 or 10 omitted. So 1001.3 mb is written as only 013, 989.3 mb as 893 and 1010.3 mb as 013.
