SAMRA 14-7

Warm front weather in winter: snow, ice pellets, then _____?

How does descending air behave compared to surrounding air?

When using a chart to analyze weather conditions, what should be done to compare with TAF weather?

What causes the jet stream to change direction according to a weather chart?

What happens to radio ground waves as frequency increases?

Using chart there is FZRA then ice pellets

Weather Characteristics

D. TCU (Towering Cumulus) and CB (Cumulonimbus) clouds indicate possible showery weather.
Feedback emphasizes the importance of recognizing specific cloud types for weather predictions.

TAF Weather Comparison

Utilize charts to compare Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) data effectively.
Timeliness of information is crucial for accurate weather prediction.

Jet Stream Dynamics

Changes in the jet stream direction are influenced by the presence of low-pressure systems.

Air Compression during Descent

Descending air experiences compression due to surrounding higher pressure, resulting in increased air density.

Winter Warm Front Weather

Warm fronts in winter can lead to a progression of weather including snow, ice pellets, followed by freezing rain (FZRA).

Ice Pellets and Weather Fronts

When freezing rain (FZRA) is present on charts, ice pellets can also be expected, indicating proximity to a warm front.
Selecting appropriate airports for monitoring should prioritize those located near warm fronts for accurate forecasts.

Radio Ground Waves

An increase in frequency leads to greater attenuation of radio ground waves, affecting communication reliability.
