The idealized flow diagram above shows geopotential heights at 500 mb and 700 mb. Use this diagram to answer the questions below. Explain whether the vertical wind profile at point A is veering or backing. Justify your answer. (2.5 points) Explain whether the vertical wind profile at point B is veering or backing. Justify your answer. (2.5 points) Identify the geostrophic wind direction at point B at 500 mb. Given the height field, explain whether the geostrophic wind would have both a u and a v component and explain what the sign on those components would be. (10 points)
