Over central europe what type of cloud cover typical of warm sector of a depression during winter Light wind little or no cloud moist air. over europe in warm sector (behind a warm front) you always find stratus regardless of season. Question 133-8
Of four radio soundings select one that indicates ground fog 255 Light wind little or no cloud moist air. when temperature dew point are equals air satured condensed water droplets will form cloud or (radio sounding n°2 indicates ground fog at surface) radio sounding n°3 indicates that a layer of cloud present above surface. Question 133-9
Which of following cloud types can project up into stratosphere Light wind little or no cloud moist air. cumulonimbus clouds are tallest clouds can reach to stratosphere the updraft in some strong cbs will bulge into stratosphere. Question 133-10

Which of following conditions most likely to lead to formation of steam fog arctic smoke Cold air moving over warm water. steam fog also known as steaming fog evaporation fog frost smoke or arctic sea smoke occurs when evaporation takes place into cold air lying over warmer water it named analogy with condensed vapor or steam which appears above water which heated invisible vapor given off from water but almost immediately recondensed as it comes into contact with colder air the air has to be much colder than water so that convection currents develop formation also requires that there is a marked surface temperature inversion in air before it moves over sea or inland water bodies so as to preclude lapse rate becoming unstable through a deep layer a low air temperature typically 0°c or below so that a comparatively small amount of moisture can produce supersaturation otherwise heating process will outweigh tendency towards saturation because of these requirements this type of fog usually only formed over water surfaces near to a source of cold air such as frozen ground or ice sheets in polar regions one classic occurrence following sudden break up of sea ice to expose relatively warm water in steep sided fjords along parts of icelandic norwegian coasts similar environments elsewhere steam fog may reach a depth of 500 feet or more drift over adjacent land areas whilst relatively rare in temperate latitudes cold air which collects in then drifts down large river valleys out over a relatively warm sea surface in very light wind conditions can occasionally lead to formation of smaller much shallower areas of this type of fog in winter.
