The freezing level in a tropical cyclone lies at roughly

  • A.4 to 5 kilometres above the surface
  • B.1 kilometre above the surface
  • C.12 kilometres above the surface
  • D.at the surface itself

Answer: A

The warm tropical atmosphere places the zero degree isotherm well above the boundary layer. Much of the precipitation in such systems nevertheless involves the ice phase above that level. Eyewall convection extends far above the freezing level.
