🔍 Key Concepts

• diurnal pressure variation and its typical cause • the difference between local daily cycles and large-scale weather systems • how mid-latitude winter storm tracks affect barometric pressure

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself what normally causes a small, regular twice‑daily pressure variation near the Earth’s surface and whether that mechanism changes much in winter. • Consider which process, among the options, actually operates strongly in middle latitudes during winter and could hide or overwhelm a subtle daily signal. • Decide which choices describe real atmospheric effects versus ones that sound scientific but are not typically used to explain daily pressure patterns.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which factor is primarily responsible for diurnal variation in pressure (solar heating vs. gravity vs. planetary rotation). • Check which answer choice involves synoptic-scale (large-scale) weather systems, such as fronts and traveling lows and highs, common in mid-latitude winters. • Eliminate any option that relies on a “critical temperature” or an unusual change in gravity or Coriolis force that is not part of standard meteorology explanations.
