While secondary depressions maybe frontal or non-frontal, the most common type are frontal which develop on the trailing warm fronts of the primary depressions.

True

False

In January the Polar fronts in the northern hemisphere are aligned east - west.

True

False

A depression having a several isobars and central pressure value of 950hPa is termed as steep depression.

True

False

The center of the low pressure is at the center of the wave, and the surface air circulation develops a typical anticlockwise (Northern Hemisphere) and inward movement.

True

False

If a depression is to develop, the airflow in the upper troposphere must be convergent. T

True

False

Within a frontal depression the warm air usually descends relative to cold air

True

False

The sequence of weather will depend on the position of the observer relative to the center of the occlusion.

True

False

In the weather sequence of a frontal depression to the North of the observer in the N. Hemisphere, at cold front the pressure is rapidly increasing.

True

False

In contrast with frontal depressions, anticyclones move slowly westwards, or may be stationary

True

False

In the subtropics, anticyclone persist for short periods and are termed permanent.

True

False

1 / 1 The term semi-permanent is applied to the anticyclonic conditions which develop seasonally in temperate and tropical zones. T

True

False

As the pressure gradient is slack, the central area of an anticyclone is either calm or has a light and variable winds.

True

False

The airflow is convergent on the surface, but divergent in the upper part of the troposphere with a subsequent downward movement of air in the troposphere, termed subsidence.

True

False

In summer months, a warm anticyclone over land results in high air temperatures during the day.

True

False

A ridge located between two frontal depressions moves slowly over an area, resulting in a short-lived break in the adverse weather of the depression.

True

False

�Cyclone” is used on the western side of Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific Ocean.

True

False

It is important to note that all TRS follow such definite paths and speeds.

True

False

In the southern hemisphere (SH), conditions on the right-hand side of storms are more severe than those on their left-hand sides.

True

False

Tropical cyclones gain energy from latent heat, driven by significant thunderstorm activity and condensation of moist air.

True

False

In the southern hemisphere, the action to avoid a TRS when you are in a navigable semi circle is to place wind on the port quarter altering course to port as the wind backs.

True

False
