What kind of weather do High Pressure
Systems bring?
High Pressure systems move like most weather systems, from
West to East. If we can determine what sort of weather High Pressure systems
bring, we can improve the accuracy of our forecasts.
Using your maps and other resources, carefully examine areas of the U.S.
where High Pressure systems are present.
Use your resources to examine the weather conditions affecting these same
areas of the U.S. Begin to formulate your hypothesis about what kind of weather
these pressure systems bring. Confirm your hypothesis by looking at
other maps to determine the location of High Pressure Systems, and then find
out what kind of weather those areas were experiencing while the High Pressure
Systems were around.
Once you have completed your analysis, and have a valid, reliable and supported
hypothesis about the type of weather that we can expect these pressure systems
to cause, present your findings to the Editor. Use the format guidelines
found on the main page of this activity. Be sure to include at least
two maps which support your hypothesis.
