HOMEWORK 5:   HYDROMETEOROLOGY

  1. Calculate the water balance coefficients given the following data:

    mean annual precipitation P = 450 mm,

    mean annual runoff Q = 43 mm,

    mean annual advective moisture A = 850 mm,

    length of the control volume L = 1000 km;

    moisture content of the atmospheric column W = 15 mm; and

    mean velocity of the advected moisture U = 300 km/day.

  2. What is likely to be the climate type for this particular data set?
