You should concentrate on warm and
cold fronts in your
Topic #5 report (you will receive minimal credit for discussing
stationary or occluded fronts). You should describe the structure
of warm and
cold fronts
and list the weather changes that would accompany the approach and
passage of a warm and cold front (temperature, dew point, winds clouds
and weather, pressure).
Writing Quality
Explain the material in your own
words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the
material. Avoid generalites, try to should include specific
details and examples from the reading section. The separate
sections or paragraphs of your paper should blend together into one
seamless coherent report. Your report should be
nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.
