Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.57 Interpret Simple Satellite or Radar Images (Extension) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A student uses both a satellite image and a radar image to say, 'Pine Harbor is under a cloud band now, and the stronger rain is still west of town, so Pine Harbor may get wetter soon.' How should you judge this claim?
AIt is wrong because satellite and radar should never be read together
BIt is wrong because rain west of town means it is already east of town
CIt is wrong because cloud bands can never move
DIt is a careful claim because it uses both current clouds and approaching rain
Solution & Explanation:The claim uses both images correctly: current cloud cover from satellite and approaching precipitation from radar.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A school plans garden work at 9:00, 11:00, and 1:00. The radar images show a storm moving over the school at 11:00 but clear conditions at 9:00 and after the storm moves east by 1:00. Which time should the class avoid most?
A9:00 because it is clear before the storm arrives
B1:00 because the storm has moved east of the school
CAfter school, even though that time is not shown
D11:00 because the storm is over the school then
Solution & Explanation:The images show the storm over the school at 11:00, so that is the time the class should avoid most.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
One picture set suggests a short but strong storm. Another suggests a longer period of lighter rain. Which set best matches the longer lighter rain idea?
AA small red cell that quickly moves by
BA wide green rain band that stretches across the map
CA clear radar image with no rain anywhere
DA single white cloud puff far from town
Solution & Explanation:A wide green rain band suggests lighter rain spread over a larger area and possibly lasting longer than a small fast strong cell.
