Questions and Answers

How does the frequency relate to attenuation in radar waves?

  • There is no relationship between frequency and attenuation
  • As frequency increases, attenuation decreases
  • As frequency increases, attenuation remains constant
  • As frequency increases, attenuation increases (correct)
  • What happens to the height of supercooled water when not far below freezing?

  • Height decreases significantly
  • Height remains constant
  • Height varies unpredictably
  • Height increases with slight proximity to freezing (correct)
  • What effect does shallow ground fog have on visibility during approach to landing?

  • Allows for normal visibility without restrictions
  • The slant visibility is more than RVRA at the touchdown zone (correct)
  • Only affects horizontal visibility
  • Reduces visibility to below minimums

    Study Notes

    Radar Wave Frequencies

    • As frequency increases, attenuation of radar waves also increases, affecting signal strength and reliability.

    Supercooling Water

    • Supercooling occurs when water remains liquid at temperatures below freezing.
    • Height can either be increased or decreased while keeping close to the freezing level.
    • Emphasis on the keyword: increase.

    Shallow Ground Fog Impact on Visibility

    • Shallow ground fog can result in slant visibility that exceeds the Required Visual Reference Area (RVRA) in the touchdown zone during landing.

    Cold Front Interaction with Warm Front

    • The interaction of a cold front with a warm front leads to the formation of a trowal, which is a trough of warm air aloft in a frontal system.

    Weather Radar Detection Capabilities

    • Weather radar is capable of detecting various types of precipitation including:
      • Dry snow
      • Snow
      • Rain
      • Hail
