Severe & Hazardous Weather  Active Learning Exercises – Ed 4 Exercise 8.4 

High and Low Pressure Centers Characteristics of high‐ and low‐pressure centers in the Northern Hemisphere are listed below. In each case, indicate by H or L whether the statement applies to high‐ or low‐pressure centers. If a statement is valid for both types of centers, place both H and L in the blank space.

1. _____ Surface winds are divergent.

2. _____ Winds blow counter‐clockwise.

3. _____ Favored by cooling of an air column.

4. _____ Lower pressure is to the left of the winds.

5. _____ Winds spiral inward toward the pressure center.

6. _____ Generally located to the east of an upper‐air trough.

7. _____ Surface winds are deflected to the left of the isobars.

8. _____ Associated with convergence in the upper troposphere.

9. _____ Pressure gradient force points away from the pressure center.

10. _____ Associated with subsidence, dry air and generally clear skies.

11. _____ Vertical motions are downward above the surface pressure center.

12. _____ Wind speeds (in the absence of friction) are slower than geostrophic.

13. _____ Release of latent heat favors intensification of the surface pressure center.

14. _____ Clouds and precipitation generally occur above the surface pressure center.

1.3) Problem Statement

Please review the video tutorial located @: http://youtu.be/IYWzCYyrgpo to aid you in preparing the Problem Statement.

a. Provides a hook supported by peer- reviewed or government citation 5 or less years old from anticipated completion date (CAO approval).

b. Provides an anchor supported by peer- reviewed or government citation 5 or less years old from anticipated completion date (CAO approval).

c. States the general business problem Note: This element should start as follows: The general business problem is…

d. States the specific business problem. Be sure to state who has the specific problem (i.e., small business leaders, project managers, supply chain managers, etc.). Note: This element should start as follows: The specific business problem is that some (identify who has the problem) . . . 

Problem Statement

Consumers contribute a lot to the economic world, as they contribute a lot to the GDP through the consumption. Most business will only strive if we have the consumers at their disposal who will buy their products and pay for their services. In the recent times we have a lot of immigrants in the country and in most part of the world countries. They form part of the consumers in those countries through the purchase of the products at large.
