Forces and Winds Exercise



Go to the below web site and find the following maps:

(1) a map showing gradient wind flow; and

(2) a map showing surface surface-level wind flow.

Print each map and attach a typed explanation of how the map exemplifies gradient/surface-level flow.  Make certain to identify the specific forces associated with the respective wind flows (it may be useful to draw a vector diagram for each type of wind flow.  Feel free to refer to specific observation stations when discussing how a map exemplifies the type of flow that you describing.

(3) On pages 236 and 237 in your text answer the following questions:

    Question #3 -- a-g
    Question #4 -- a-c

Please show all work in the usual way.
