Need some help on these weather-related questions.

Figure 9A-4 is the 500 -mb constant-pressure map for \( 12 \mathrm{Z} 26 \) October 2021 , the same time as Figure 9A-3. The heights that radiosondes detect \( 500-\mathrm{mb} \) of pressure are reported in the upper right position of the upper-air station models and the heights are plotted as isohypses (contours) in tens of meters; so a " \( 0 " \) needs to be placed to the right of the plotted digits for the actual height. Figure 9A-4. Analyzed upper-air weather map with height contours (isohypses), isotherms, and 500 \( \mathrm{mb} \) radiosonde data for \( 12 \mathrm{Z} 26 \mathrm{OCT} 2021 \). 10. The mid-tropospheric flow pattern, shown by the height contour lines on the 500-mb map, displayed a. a trough marked by a center axis generally from Idaho to Arizona b. a narrow ridge with an axis from eastern Oklahoma to Minnesota c. a shallow trough with a closed contour generally over the eastern Great Lakes to the mid-Atlantic d. all of these features 11. The height of the 500-mb pressure level plotted at Goodland in southwestern Kansas was \( \mathrm{m} \) above sea level (denoted by 581 ). a. 581 b. 5581 c. 55581 d. 5810 12. Compare the heights of the \( 500-\mathrm{mb} \) constant pressure surface across most of the southeastern portion of the U.S. to those along the northern portion on the map and into Canada. As latitude increases, the height of the 500mb surface generally ___ (There is a data error near Monterrey, Mexico causing false contours.) a. increases b. decreases c. remains constant 13. One of the highest reported wind speeds plotted on the 500-mb map was reported at San Francisco, CA. Those winds were generally from the northwest at about kt. The wind barb includes one flag and four long feathers. a. 60 b. 90 c. 105 d. 120 14. The 500-mb wind directions often provide guidance for surface storm movements. In Figure 9A-4, the 500-mb wind directions over much of the Southwest through the southern Rockies and into the Plains indicate that the emerging Rockies cyclone on Figure 9A-3 would move toward the over the next day or so. a. northwest b. southeast c. southwest d. northeast
