Explain how midlatitude cyclones are associated with midlatitude anticyclones
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: A cyclone is a storm while an anticyclone is associated with bright, dry weather. A cyclone is caused and steered by the polar front jet stream while mixing two or more air masses. The anticyclone is typically at a distance behind the cyclones cold front; the cold front is the leading edge of the anticyclone.

On the map, label the following:
The question is based on this hypothetical weather map in the Northern Hemisphere showing isobars and the positions of a cold front and a warm front (top of map is north). Six locations are marked on the map (points A, B, C, D, E, and F). A cross-section diagram along points A, B, C, D, E, and F is shown below the map.
(a) Cold front (use standard weather map symbols)
(b) Warm front (use standard weather map symbols)
(c) Cool sector of storm
(d) Warm sector of storm
