Weather Station Model Concepts

The video tutorial explains the weather station model, detailing how to interpret various weather variables such as temperature, visibility, dew point, wind speed, and barometric pressure. It covers the placement of these variables on the model and provides rules for converting barometric pressure codes. The tutorial includes examples to illustrate these conversions and demonstrates how to interpret weather data using the model.

What information can be obtained from a weather station model?

• Only precipitation and cloud cover

• Only barometric pressure and wind direction

• Temperature, visibility, dew point, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover, barometric pressure, barometric trend, and precipitation

• Only temperature and wind speed

Where is the temperature located on the weather station model?

• Lower left-hand corner

• Upper right-hand corner

• Lower right-hand corner

• Upper left-hand corner

How is barometric pressure represented on the weather station model?

• As a five-digit code

• As a three-digit code

• As a two-digit code

• As a four-digit code

What should be added in front of a three-digit code below 500 to convert it to millibars?

• Add a 15

• Add a 10

• Add a 9

• Add a 5

What is the millibar value for a three-digit code of 599?

• 659.9 mbars

• 559.9 mbars

• 959.9 mbars

• 1059.9 mbars

In the practical example, what was the temperature recorded?

• 65°F

• 84°F

• 15°F

• 29°F

What was the wind speed in the practical example?

• 20 miles per hour

• 10 miles per hour

• 15 miles per hour

• 5 miles per hour

How is cloud cover represented in the weather station model?

• By shading the entire circle

• By shading a quarter of the circle

• By not shading the circle at all

• By shading half of the circle

What is the dew point temperature in the practical example?

• 65°F

• 15°F

• 84°F

• 29°F

What is the barometric pressure in millibars in the practical example?

• 110.4 mbars

• 101.4 mbars

• 104.0 mbars

• 100.4 mbars
