Conditions favourable for the development of thunder storms
(A) . Weak advection due to intense heating of the land surface
(B) . Radiational cooling at upper levels
(C) . Passage of cold, moist air mass over the warm water surface
(D) . Warm advection aloft
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
EXPLANATION
Extreme Weather Systems
- Favorable Meteorological Conditions for Thunderstorms:
- Abundant Low-Level Moisture: High dew points supplying latent heat energy.
- Steep Environmental Lapse Rate (Conditional Instability): Rapid decrease of temperature with height promoting strong vertical buoyancy.
- Lifting Trigger: Solar insolation thermals, orographic ascent, or frontal convergence initiating deep vertical convection.
- Conclusion: Atmospheric instability coupled with adequate moisture (B and C only) drives thunderstorm formation. (Correct answer: Option 2)
