9a.) After a warm front passes through an area we can expect [blank_start]higher[blank_end] temperatures, winds from the [blank_start]south[blank_end], and higher dewpoints.
b.) After a [blank_start]cold front[blank_end] passes through an area we can expect lower temperatures, winds from the [blank_start]northwest[blank_end], and lower dewpoints.
c.) After a dryline passes through we can expect similar temperatures, but [blank_start]lower[blank_end] dewpoints.
d.) If we have cool, dry conditions both before and after a front passes, it must be an [blank_start]occluded front[blank_end].- Ahigher

10Match the air mass with the description:
a.) During the night, temperatures plummet into the negatives, in fact its so bitterly cold that President Mazey cancels classes. This describes an [blank_start]Artic (A)[blank_end] air mass.
b.) It's so hot and humid that it is unbearable to go outside. This describes a [blank_start]Maritime Tropical (mT)[blank_end] air mass.
c.) It's a cool, dry fall day, perfect for going on a walk and crunching leaves while drinking pumpkin spice lattes. This describes a [blank_start]Continental Polar (cP)[blank_end] air mass.
d.) It is a hot, dry day. It's like living in a desert. This describes a [blank_start]Continental Tropical (cT)[blank_end] air mass.
e.) It is a cool, rainy day, the kind that needs a jacket and umbrella. This describes a [blank_start]Maritime Polar (mP)[blank_end] air mass.- AArtic (A)

15[blank_start]Visual Imagery[blank_end] is satellite based on reflectivity. Dark regions in an image are associated with a [blank_start]lower[blank_end] albedo, whereas bright regions are associated with a [blank_start]higher[blank_end] albedo. The [blank_start]bright[blank_end] regions often coincide with clouds. This form of imagery is not very effective during the [blank_start]nighttime[blank_end].
- AVisual Imagery
- Blower
- Chigher
- Dbright
- Enighttime
- Fdaytime
- GInfrared Imagery
- HWater Vapor
- Idark
16[blank_start]Infrared Imagery[blank_end] detects radiation at the infrared wavelengths. Colder clouds appear [blank_start]bright[blank_end] while [blank_start]darker[blank_end] objects are warm. This imagery can be used during the [blank_start]day or night[blank_end].
