I got through most of the homework and these are the leftover questions. Someone else has the actual paper right now so I can't post photos of the graphs. I realize that some of these don't have enough information to answer them. I got through most of them, and I will pay 10fg for each correct answer to the first person to post each correct answer. This offer expires at midnight PST unless I've posted otherwise. Thank you!


The precipitation is very low with a summer maximum. This would lead you to suspect this as the lifting mechanism:
a.) convergence
b.) orogrphic
c.) frontal
d.) convection

Which of the following would make the best aquifer?
a.) uncemented, loosely compacted clay
b.) cemented sand that was highly compacted
c.) uncemented sand that is loosely compacted
d.) cemented gravel that was loosely compacted at the time of cementation

The wind belt in New York City is known as:
a.) Southeast trades
b.) northeast trades
c.) westerly
d.) polar easterly

Given the answer to the above question, which combonaton of lifcting mechanisms accounts for most of the precipitation recieved in this station?'
a.) convergent, orographic
b.) orographic, conventional
c.) frontal, convergent
d.) frontal, convection

Given the ranges of temperatures over a tropical year, what would be your best guess about the degree of continentality of this station?
a.) Fairly low
b.) high
c.) right on the coast
d.) you cannot tell from this graph

The stable (though moderate) precipitation indicates that the reigion is probably greatly influenced by:
a.) subtropical high pressure
b.) mP airmasses
c.) ITCZ
d.) seasonal reversal of winds

The preciptiation comes during the period of low sun angle and is caused by:
a.) the subtropical high
b.) convection
c.) cyclonic storms
d.) downslope effect

The high sun angle precipitation maximum occurs in response to:
a.) convection
b.) monsoon effects
c.) downslope effect
d.) frontal clashes

What is the most important feature of this climate:
a.) ITCZ
b.) subtropical high
c.) leeward location
d.) cT airmasses
