Question 19
XE-HNAT2 marksNeeds review
A numerical model of the atmosphere uses sigma (σ) coordinate system in vertical. At locations P and Q, surface pressures are 1005 hPa and 500 hPa, respectively. Absolute difference in the heights of σ = 0.9 level between these locations is ________ meters. (Give the answer to one decimal place.) Layer mean temperatures at P and Q are 300 K and 270 K, respectively. (Take g = 9.8 m s
