Two key quantities in synoptic meteorology were defined using different vector Calculus operations on the velocity vector. Both operations are shown below. Name the quantity characterized by each operation and briefly define it. (10 points) Quantity A Quantity B

As scientists, it is important to scrutinize scientific information you receive related to your area of expertise, even if they seemingly come from reputable sources. The image below is from a well-known publisher, but it has some critical issues in how it presents Rossby waves and synoptic scale motion. Identify two major issues with this image. (10 points)
