3362041Question 1 a. Would Colorado Springs (elevation 6035 ft.) or Denver (elevation 5288 ft) generally require more of a pressure correction (i.e., more pressure added) to get a representative sea level pressure? I believe Colorado springs would require more pressure correction to get a better representative sea level pressure since it is higher elevation b. If Denver recorded the same station pressure of 820 millibars on one day that was 95ºF and on another day that was -20ºF, which daywould require more of a correction (i.e., more pressure added) to get a representative sea level pressure? The day of -20F would require more temp pressurec. We learned in the Moisture Lab that water vapor (H2O) is lighter than the molecules that it displaces (i.e., N2 and O2) in an air parcel or air column. Given this, which Denver day would require more of a correction (i.e., more pressure added) to get a representative sea level pressure: a humid day or a dry day? Assume the station pressure and temperature on both days are equal.I think a humid dry day would require more of a correction
