Here are a couple of questions from the atpl meteorology syllabus.
What would you answer to this :
1) What gives freezing rain over central europe :
a- warm occlusion
b- cold occlusion
c- warm front
d- cold front
I would go for C.
2) What are the indications of a TRS (tropical revolving storm) from a great distance:
a- thick Ci
b- thick Cb's
c- Ns
d- Sc
I'd say B.
3) Flying from London to Bombay in january, what average wind might you expect :
a- light easterly
b- light westerly
c- westerly polar front jet stream
d- tropical easterly jet
I'm hesitating betwn B and C. Definitely not easterly winds, so neither A nor D are correct, to my opinion.
4) Equatorial jets are sometimes found at ........ latitude and at the ........ level.
a- 5°, 300mb
b- 0°, 200mb
c- 17°, 200mb
d- 0°, 150mb.
D seems half correct half incorrect to me. It is said that tropical jets are found bewteen 10° and 20° in the northern hemisphere summer at the 150mb.
5) The North African rains occur :
a- march to may and august to october
b- march to may and october to november
c- december to april
d- june to august
Thanks a lot.
