Questions in this quiz (20)
11. The measurement of surface temperature is made:
- Aa) At ground level.
- Bb) At approximately 10 metres above ground level.
- Cc) At approximately 4 feet above ground level.
- Dd) At approximately 4 metres above ground level.
22. Cloud cover will reduce diurnal variation of temperature because:
- Aa) Incoming solar radiation is reflected back to space and outgoing terrestrial radiation is reflected back to earth.
- Bb) Incoming solar radiation is re-radiated back to space and atmospheric heating by convection will stop at the level of the cloud layer.
- Cc) The cloud stops the sun rays getting through to the earth and also reduces outgoing conduction.
- Dd) Incoming solar radiation is reflected back to space and outgoing terrestrial radiation is re-radiated from the cloud layer back to the surface.
33. Most accurate temperatures above the ground level are obtained by:
- Aa) Tephigram.
- Bb) Aircraft reports.
- Cc) Temperature probes.
- Dd) Radio sonde.
44. The diurnal variation of temperature is:
- Aa) Greater over sea than overland.
- Bb) Less over desert areas than over temperate grassland.
- Cc) Reduced anywhere by the presence of cloud.
- Dd) Increased anywhere as wind speed increases.
55. Over continents and oceans, the relative temperature conditions are:
- Aa) Warmer in winter over land, colder in summer over sea.
- Bb) Colder in winter over land, warmer in winter over sea.
- Cc) Cold in winter over land and sea.
- Dd) Warmer in summer over land and sea.
66. The process of change of state from a liquid to a gas is:
- Aa) Condensation in which latent heat is released.

88. On a wet bulb thermometer in an unsaturated atmosphere there will be a reduction of temperature below that of the dry bulb thermometer because:

evaporation.
99. Relative humidity is:

- Dd) The maximum amount of water vapour that a sample of air can contain over the actual amount of water vapour the sample does contain * 100.
1010. Absolute humidity is:
- Aa) The number of water droplets in a given quantity of air.
- Bb) The amount of water vapour that a quantity of air holds.
- Cc) The maximum amount of water vapour that a given quantity of air can hold.
- Dd) The maximum number of water droplets that a given quantity of air can hold.
1111. Wet bulb temperature would normally be lower than the dry bulb temperature because:
- Aa) condensation causes a release of latent heat.
- Bb) evaporation causes cooling.
- Cc) latent heat is absorbed by the bulb thermometer.
- Dd) of condensation on the muslin wick of the bulb.
1212. The wet bulb temperature:
- Aa) Is measured using a hydrometer.
- Bb) Is the minimum temperature to which a thermometer bulb can be cooled by the evaporation of water.
- Cc) Measures the dew point of air.
- Dd) Is the minimum temperature reached by the surface of the earth as
measured by a thermometer placed 1,2 metres above the ground.
1313. Which one of the following statements relating to atmospheric humidity is correct:
- Aa) If the air temperature falls then the absolute humidity must increase.
- Bb) The absolute humidity is the mass of water vapour contained in unit volume of air.
- Cc) The diurnal variation of dewpoint temperature is greatest when skies are clear at night.
- Dd) The dewpoint temperature is the temperature indicated by the wet bulb thermometer.
1414. When condensation takes place, the higher temperature, the _____ the amount of latent heat______:
- Aa) Lesser released
- Bb) greater absorbed
- Cc) greater released
- Dd) lesser absorbed
