Question

2.Throughout the year, weather conditions change rapidly in Champaign-Urbana. During the summer months, strong southerly winds often bring high-dewpoint air from the Gulf of Mexico northward into the Midwest. How do these strong southerly winds affect the vapor pressure

Answer 1

Explanation:

The air coming from the Gulf of Mexico loaded with moisture has a greater weight, so a density greater than the air in the city, so its pressure is higher than the air pressure in the city.

If we consider that the speed in both airs is the same, we can see that

P₁ - P₂ = ½ (ρ₂ - ρ₁) v².

Therefore there is a negative variation in atmospheric pressure, so the pressure must decrease in cities and fields
