Section 10 Exercise
Exercise – Interpreting Radiosondes (1 of 5)
Instructions• Determine the following for each day
– 850-mb temperature– Inversions– Afternoon mixing height based on morning temperature sounding
and the given forecast maximum temperature– Afternoon mixing height on afternoon sounding
• Answer the following questions– Did the mixing height estimate from the morning sounding match
the mixing height determined from the afternoon sounding?– How would you expect morning and afternoon air quality
concentrations to compare based on vertical mixing alone?– How would air quality concentrations compare between the days?
Time: 15 minutes
