Question

The Crocus scheme for modeling one form of this solid substance vertically discretizes it into a variable number of layers. Michael Stieglitz’s three-layer model of this substance is integrated into MERRA-2’s predictions of this substance’s behavior on land. One form of this substance in the Wasatch Front is enhanced (15[1])by a salinity-driven decrease in (*) vapor pressure (-5[2])and latent heat flux. Automated stations for measuring the density of this solid (-5[1])substance (-5[2])may (-5[1])use (-5[1])pressure (-5[1])transducers to calculate the SWE. (10[1])The Finger Lakes isotope (10[1]-5[2])record reflects a statistically significant (-5[5])increase (-5[1])of a regional form of this substance (-5[1])as a response (-5[1])to global warming. (-5[3])For 10 points, (-5[1])lake (10[1]-5[1])effect squalls (10[2]-5[1])of what (10[2])substance (10[3])are common in (10[1])western (10[1])New York? (10[5])■END■ (10[20]0[11])
