The position of the polar jet stream is usually somewhere between

Southern Canada and Mexico

What method of forecasting predicts the arrival time of a storm based on its current speed and other starting variables

Trends method

Is the saying the higher the clouds the better the weather true

High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair weather.

so it is true

If the relative humidity is high and the temperature drops water vapor may

condense

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

Which type of cloud is tall and associated with thunderstorms

Cumulonimbus

Why do bodies of water tend to moderate temperature swings from day to day

Water has a high heat capacity.

What does the L symbol indicate on a weather map

What does this symbol indicate on a weather map?

low pressure

Is the Intertropical Convergence Zone also known as the doldrums

Question: The doldrums happen in a zone known as the what?

Answer: intertropical convergence zone

What is the dew point

The dew point is the temperature at which the air will become completely saturated. It is determined by the amount of moisture in the air, and the temperature. Fog will form when the temperature is close to the dew point.

Air conditioning is the perfect control system to maintain a steady atmospheric humidity in a unit. The atmospheric humidity is the quantity of water contained in the air in the form of vapours. When the amount of moisture held by air has reached the maximum by a giving temp, the air is said to b saturated and it is also called 'dew point'
It is the temperature of air at which the air can no longer contain all the moisture in it, and the moisture precipitates out as dew.
The definition of the word dew point is "the atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form."

Which forecasting method uses data from the same date in previous years to predict today's weather

Climatology method

What is the Match each measurement tool with what it measures

Hygrometer = Humidity

Thermometer = Temperature

Weather Vane = Wind direction

Anemometer = Wind

What of following causes tornadoes

coo,dy air meeting warm, moist air

How does region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information

How does a region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information?

which is not part of the recipe for a thunderstorm to form

A cold front advancing
