Weather Tropical - Quiz

The document discusses climate and weather patterns in Indonesia. It notes that Indonesia experiences a monsoon climate with distinct wet and dry seasons due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The ITCZ varies its position throughout the year, bringing moisture and precipitation to different parts of Indonesia at different times. During the wet season from November to May, winds bring moisture from Asia, while the dry season from June to October sees weaker winds and less rainfall. The climate varies significantly across Indonesia's many islands and regions.

Monsoon, a major wind system that seasonally reverses its direction, such
as one that blows for approximately six months from the northeast and six
months from the southwest.
A. Monsoonal tendencies also are apparent along the Gulf Coast of
the United States and in central Europe; North Atlantic: Scandinavian
B. The most prominent monsoons occur in South Asia (including
Indonesia), Africa, Australia, and the Pacific coast of Central America.
C. true monsoons do not occur in Indian Ocean and Java Ocean.
D. monsoons occur in South Asia (including Indonesia), Africa,
Australia, however true monsoons do not occur in Indian Ocean and
Java Ocean.

2. The ITCZ lies near the equator, bringing precipitation caused by:

B. Radiation
C. Mountain wave
D. Sea breeze

3. Main climate of Indonesia:


A. Snow in West Papua mountain peak
B. Dry humidity in wet season, 100 percent in dry season
C. Rainfall is most in dry season because of highest humidity present
during the season.
D. The main variable of Indonesia's climate is not temperature or air
pressure, but rainfall.

C. from the south and east in June through September
D. from the south and east in December through March.

6. Tropical Cyclone (TC) / Typhoons in Indonesia large-scale storms pose


little hazard to in Indonesia area but shall be considered for international flight
especially heading to sub-continent region because:
A. TC development occurs frequently in the month of July / August in
South China Sea (sub-continent), north of Australia (sub-continent) in
December / January

equator and turning away toward North west as it approaches the belt
of tropic cancer into the continent and dissipating.

equator and turning away toward South West as it approaches the belt
of tropic Capricorn.
D. All are correct.

7. The location of the ITCZ varies throughout the year:


A. Near the equator, from about 5° north and 5° south, the northeast trade
winds and southeast trade winds converge in a low-pressure zone
B. while it remains near the equator, the ITCZ over land ventures farther
north or south than the ITCZ over the oceans due to the variation in
land temperatures.
C. The location of the ITCZ can vary as much as 40° to 45° of latitude
north or south of the equator based on the pattern of land and ocean.
D. All are correct.

8. The most threat of precipitation type in Indonesia for aviation associated


with ITCZ which requires high degree of pilot’s situational awareness,
knowledge and skill is:

9. The Indonesia weather and climate is influenced by the:


A. Warm front weather system
B. Tropical front weather system
C. Intertropical Convergence Zone system
D. Tropical warm font weather System

10. Intertropical Convergence Zone is:


A. A broad area of low atmospheric pressure located in the equatorial
region where the northeasterly and southeasterly trade winds
converge.
B. belt of converging trade winds and rising air that encircles
the Earth near the Equator
C. The rising air produces high cloudiness, frequent thunderstorms, and
heavy rainfall.
D. All are correct.

11. Doldrum is:


A. belt of converging trade winds and rising air that encircles
the Earth near the Equator
B. called equatorial calms, equatorial regions of light ocean currents and
winds within theintertropical convergence zone (ITCZ)
C. The northeast and southeast trade winds meet there; this meeting
causes air uplift and often produces clusters of
convective thunderstorms
D. B and C are correct
12. The Intertropical Convergence Zone is characterized by?
A. cold, dry rising air.
B. warm, wet rising air.
C. warm dry rising air.
D. cold, dry sinking air.

A. tropical savanna climates or tropical wet and dry climate
B. tropical doldrum climate with heavy rainfall
C. a tropical wet climate featuring wet and dry seasons
D. all are correct

14. Monsoonal winds are weak over Indonesia because of the expanses of
water and the low latitude,
A. From April to October the Australian southeasterly air flows, whereas
north of the Equator the flow becomes a southwesterly.
B. In Java, at sea level alone there are two major regions: an “equatorial”
west with no dry season and a “monsoonal” east with extreme drought
in August and September.
C. the low-level tropical wind field exhibits a strong seasonal dependence,
with a tendency toward onshore (sea to land) flow during summer and
offshore flow during winter.
D. All are correct.

15. The northeasterly flow from Asia, which becomes northwesterly south of
the Equator, is laden with moisture when it reaches Indonesia, bringing cloudy
and rainy weather between November and May.
A. The wettest months are December in most of Sumatra and January
elsewhere, but rainfall patterns are highly localized.
B. The Malaysian-Australian monsoon generally maintains its dryness
over the islands closer to Australia, but farther north it carries

season and very little precipitation falls during the dry season.
