Review Questions

These questions are meant to evaluate your understanding and application of the lecture and reading material for the corresponding day. I expect that you will be able to answer similar questions on quizzes. Questions labeled as Review and Thought are out of your textbook, Essentials of Meterology, 5th Edition by C. Donald Ahrens. For example, Review: 2.(4,6) means Chapter 2, "Questions for Review", numbers 4 and 6; and Thought: 2.(3-7) means Chapter 2, "Questions for Thought and Exploration", numbers 3 through 7. There will also be links to additional questions not contained in your textbook.
