Discussion
Match each system with the precipitation structure it produces.
List I
A. Warm front
B. Cold front
C. Tropical cyclone
D. Sea breeze front
List II
1. spiral rainbands around an eye
2. widespread stratiform rain ahead of it
3. a line of shallow convection inland
4. a narrow band of convective showers
Answer: C
Correct answer: A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
Each system’s precipitation reflects how steeply it lifts the air. A warm front has a gentle slope, so it lifts a deep layer slowly over a wide area and gives widespread stratiform rain ahead of it. A cold front lifts abruptly, giving a narrow band of convective showers along the boundary. A tropical cyclone organises its convection into spiral rainbands around the eye, and a sea breeze front produces a line of shallow convection where it penetrates inland.
