The presence of stratus clouds and a dying wind will usually result in __________.
• Stratus clouds are low, uniform layers of cloud often associated with stable air and widespread, light precipitation or reduced visibility. • A dying (weakening) wind often means reduced mixing of air near the surface. • Think about how cool, moist air and light or calm winds affect visibility near the sea surface.
• If the wind dies, what happens to moisture near the surface—does it get mixed away or stay concentrated close to the water? • Stratus clouds tend to form in stable air. In stable, moist conditions over cool water, what common visibility phenomenon often occurs? • Which choice best matches low clouds, stable air, and light winds: intense precipitation or something that affects visibility?
• Check which option is most closely associated with low clouds and reduced air movement rather than strong vertical motion or storms. • Eliminate choices that typically require strong rising air (convection) and more active weather systems. • Confirm which remaining choice is known to be common over cool water with light winds and moist air, particularly in coastal or maritime environments.
