When the term "light and variable" is used in reference to a Winds Aloft Forecast, the coded group and windspeed is
Correct!
Wrong!
What feature is associated with a temperature inversion?
Correct!
Wrong!
A nonfrontal, narrow band of active thunderstorms that often develop ahead of a cold front is a known as a
Correct!
Wrong!
Squall lines are bands of severe thunderstorms that tend to develop ahead of fast-moving cold fronts. These squall lines often contain severe steady-state thunderstorms. This is the single most intense weather hazard for aircraft. Answer A is incorrect because a squall line is a specific type of a prefrontal system. Answer C is incorrect because a dry line is a front across which there is seldom any significant air mass contrast other than moisture content.
