MLG 100 Final Exam — Spring 2019 instructor. Bruce Smith Student Name- Part II — Surf-u Weather Analysis — 100 points On the evening of April 10, 2011 an outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tomadoes tore across central andnortheast Wisconsin Fifieen tomadoes were confirmed in Wisconsin, most across the central and northeastpart of the state. For this analysis (Questions A-F). you will be using the Midwest Surface Data Map from002, April 1 1, 201 1. This map is Figure 1 on this exam. You will also be using the Meteogram for GreenBay, Wisconsin (KGRB) for 002 to 23002 for April 1 1th. (Figure 5 on this exam) The Meteogram showsthree graphs. The top graph shows changes in air temperature and dew point, the center graph shows changesin sky conditions (C indicates “clear") and ceiling height and the bottom graph shows changes in barometricpressure. In addition, wind speed, direction and weather conditions are indicated using standard stationmodel symbols. The time is shown on the bottom of the page in GMT time (OOZ 4/11 to 23002 411 l.) Thedarker vertical line is 122 4111. Study this Meteogram carefully. If you need help interpreting theMeteogram, you can get assistance prior to taking the exam at http://vortex.plymouthcdu/mcteogram info.html. A. Convert the following GMT times to local time in Wisconsin [Central Daylight Time)002 4/11/11 = Date- Time CDT 1224/11/11: Date- Time CDT B. Find the station model near Bismarck. North Dakota. It is the station in the south central part of thestate. Describe the weather condin'ons in Bismarck at the time of the observation. Include temperature.dew point, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and sky conditions. Be sure to includeappropriate units on each value. C. Find the station model near Madison, Wisconsin. It is the station in the south central part of thestate. Describe the weather conditions in Madison at the time ofthe observation. lnclude temperature.dew point, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and sky conditions. He sure to includeappropriate units on each value. D. Study the differences in weather conditions between Bismarck and Madison at the time of theobservations. Compare and contrast two weather parameters that show the greatest difference. F. 0n the surface data map on in Figure 1, locate the station with the lowest surface pressure. Circlethis station and label it "Low". Now locate the station with the highest surface pressure. Circle thisstation and label it "High". Do this directly on the map. F. In the box to the right, using the data from the Meteogram (Figure 5], draw astandard stan'on model that depicts the weather condin'ons including temperature.dew point, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and sky conditions, thatwere present at Green Bay, WI at 202 on April 1 1,201 1. MI r: 1nn Final Fvam lemma Dan I. nf 1 MLG 100 Final Exam — Spring 2019 Instructor - Bruce Smith Student Name- Figure 2 shows two RADAR images from the NWS Forecast Office in Green Bay, Wisconsin atapproximately 7:30PM, April 10, 2011. On the left is the reflectivity image. On the right is the Dopplervelocity image. At the time this image was produced, an EF1 tornado was on the ground in the areacovered by this image. Use these images to answer Questions G » l. G. Study the reflectivity image. Explain what the various colors represent on the image. H. 0n the Doppler velocity image, note the pattern ofthe green and red colors on the image. Usingarrows, indicate the motion of the air depicted in the image relative to the RADAR. (Remember, theRADAR location is in Green Bay to the north-east of this image.) Do this directly on the Dopplervelocity RADAR image in Figure 2. I. Study both of the images in Figure 2. 0n the reflectivity image [leit one) draw an "X" at the mostlikely location of the tornado that is occurring at the time ofthe RADAR image. Label the location"Tornado". Do this directly on the Reflectivity RADAR image in Figure 2. Figures 3 & 4 show the visible satellite image and composite reflectivity RADAR image for the regionduring the time of the tornado outbreak Both images represent the conditions at approximately thesame time. Note that both images show a similar southwest to northeast pattern. Use these images toanswer Questions] 81. K. 1. Compare and contrast what the satellite image is showing as opposed to what the RADAR image isdepicting. State specifically what atmospheric condition each image is representing. K. On which ofthe images (Figures 3 & 4), ifeither, would you be able to see the actual tornado vortex.Explain. Ml r. 1 MI Final Pvam {smtrht Faun 7 of 1 n
