  1. 1The measurement of surface temperature is made:
    1. AAt ground level.
    2. BAt approximately 10 metres above ground level.
    3. CAt approximately 4 feet above ground level.
    4. DAt approximately 4 metres above ground level
  2. 2Cloud cover will reduce diurnal variation of temperature because:
    1. AIncoming solar radiation is partially reflected back to space and outgoing terrestrial radiation is reflected back to earth.
    2. BIncoming solar radiation is re-radiated back to space and atmospheric heating by convection will stop at the level of the cloud layer
    3. CThe cloud stops the sun rays getting through to the earth and also reduces outgoing conduction.
    4. DIncoming solar radiation is partially reflected back to space and
      outgoing terrestrial radiation is mostly re-radiated from the cloud
      layer back to the surface.
  3. 3Most accurate temperatures above the ground level are obtained by:
    1. ATephigram
    2. BAircraft reports
    3. CTemperature probes.
    4. DRadio sonde.
  4. 4The diurnal variation of temperature is:
    1. AGreater over sea than overland
    2. BLess over desert areas than over temperate grassland.
    3. CReduced anywhere by the presence of cloud.
    4. DIncreased anywhere as wind speed increases.
  5. 5Over continents and oceans, the relative temperature conditions are:
    1. AWarmer in winter over land, colder in summer over sea
    2. BColder in winter over land, warmer in winter over sea.
    3. CCold in winter over land and sea
    4. DWarmer in summer over land and sea.
  6. 6The process of change of state from a liquid mass to a gas mass is:
    1. ACondensation in which latent heat is released.
    2. BEvaporation in which latent heat is released
    3. CCondensation in which latent heat is absorbed
    4. DEvaporation in which latent heat is absorbed by the mass
  7. 7Air is classified as dry or saturated according to its relative humidity. If the
    relative humidity were 95% the air would be classified as
    1. AConditionally saturated.
    2. BNot saturated.
    3. CSaturated
    4. DDry
  8. 8On a wet bulb thermometer in an unsaturated atmosphere there will be a
    reduction of temperature below that of the dry bulb thermometer because:
    1. AHeat is absorbed during the process of condensation.
    2. BHeat is released during the process of condensation.
    3. CHeat is absorbed by the thermometer during the process of evaporation
    4. DHeat is released from the thermometer during the process of
      evaporation.
  9. 9Relative humidity is:
    1. AAir temperature over wet bulb temperature * 100.
    2. BAir temperature over dew point temperature * 100.
    3. CThe actual mixing ratio of water vapour in a sample of air over the maximum mixing ratio of water vapour that this sample can contain * 100
    4. DThe maximum amount of water vapour that a sample of air can contain over the actual amount of water vapour the sample does contain * 100.
  10. 10Absolute humidity is
    1. AThe number of water droplets in a given quantity of air
    2. BThe mass of water vapour that a volume of air holds
    3. CThe maximum amount of water vapour that a given quantity of air can hold.
    4. DThe maximum number of water droplets that a given quantity of air can hold.
