Multiple Choice

Fill in the blanks correctly to help you remember the difference: “_________ is what you expect and _________ is what you get.”

1

climate, weather

2

weather, climate

Referring to the image, which atmospheric region does an sUAS operate in?

1

Thermosphere

2

Mesosphere

3

Stratosphere

4

Troposphere

6

The standard atmosphere is an idealized model of the aggregate atmosphere, considered without moisture, which is averaged across all latitudes and season. While this atmospheric representation was originally developed during the dawn of aviation, it is currently used by meteorologists to define standard sea-level values.
