Meteorology for Aviation: Thunderstorms


Meteorology for Aviation: ThunderstormsOnline version Thunderstorm essentials by Edy Paco 1 What is a thunderstorm a phenomenon characterized by? a Calm skies with light winds b Gentle drizzle and clear skies c Presence of lightning and thunder, cumulonimbus clouds, heavy rain, hail or snow, and strong air currents d Dust storms and sandstorms e Misty conditions with low clouds 2 What type of clouds are associated with electrical storms? a Altostratus b Stratus c Cumulonimbus d Cirrus e Nimbostratus 3 What is a cumulonimbus cloud known for? a Large dark clouds with great vertical development reaching up to 10-12 km and producing heavy rain and turbulence b Small puffy clouds with little vertical development c Mid-level clouds with mild turbulence d Flat layer of clouds with no rain e Warm, fluffy clouds with light rain 4 What are the three stages of the life cycle of a cumulonimbus storm? a Initiation, Propagation, Extinction b Formation, Cessation, Recovery c Incubation, Rise, Fall d Beginning, Peak, End e Growth, Mature, Dissipation 5 During the growth stage, which of the following is true? a Only updrafts exist; humid air rises rapidly and cloud grows b Wind shear is maximum and turbulence is minimal c Lightning and hail are present but no rain d Cloud is fully formed and rain is immediate e Only downdrafts exist; air sinks 6 What characterizes the mature stage of a thunderstorm? a No rain and only light winds b Updrafts and downdrafts with heavy rain, hail, lightning, thunder, and severe turbulence c Stable air with no turbulence d Dissipation of the cloud with decreasing moisture e Only updrafts with light drizzle 7 What happens in the dissipation stage of a thunderstorm? a Cloud becomes a cirrus cloud and rises b Lightning increases while rain stops c Prevalent downdrafts; rain decreases; cloud loses energy and storm gradually disappears d Updrafts intensify and rainfall increases e Storm becomes a tornado 8 How do convective thunderstorms typically originate? a From cooling of the ocean surface b From mountain waves only c From heating of the ground causing air to rise and warm air to ascend d From high altitude jet streams e From land breeze at night 9 What are convective storms commonly associated with? a Strong heat (hot weather) and thermal turbulence b Clear weather with mild turbulence c Dust storms and low humidity d Cold fronts and snow e High winds aloft with no precipitation 10 What are the main risks to aviation from thunderstorms? a Solar glare and radio interference b Clear air turbulence only c Mild drizzle and fog d Severe turbulence, lightning, hail, icing, wind shear, low visibility, and downdrafts e Only icing with no turbulence 11 Which safety measures should pilots take regarding thunderstorms? a Avoid entering cumulonimbus, maintain distance from the storm, review meteorological reports, use weather radar, plan alternate routes b Fly directly through the storm to minimize delays c Turn off radar to avoid distractions d Ignore weather reports and rely on visuals only e Land immediately at the nearest airport regardless of conditions
