Assertion (A): Omega is positive for ascending motion.

Reason (R): Omega is the material rate of change of pressure following the parcel.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: D

The reason gives the correct definition, and because pressure decreases upward that definition makes omega negative for ascent, so the assertion is false. The inverted sign is a frequent source of error when reading model output. Deriving the sign from the definition each time is far more reliable than trying to remember which way round the convention runs.
