For the midlatitude isobaric flow field below, answer the questions that follow. These flows are in the Northern Hemisphere.  Assume each field has a diameter of roughly 100 km. (3 pts per question)   a. Which point (A-E) likely has the warmest air? b. What is the direction of the Coriolis force vector at D? c. If these flows are in the boundary layer, which point is likely experiencing divergence?   d. What sign (+/-) of relative vorticity exists at point A? e. At which point(s) is relative vorticity likely indeterminate?

The theory taught in this course is well described by most numerical weather prediction systems, yet our models are still quite poor at many things.  Explain, using understanding from this course, why our models are still bad.  What are the limitations of what you’ve learned in this class in the context of prediction, and what ways (if any) can we work towards improving on those limitations?
