Pre-Lab: Building a Streamline Analysis ยป Basic Practice
Before beginning a full streamline analysis with real observations over a large domain, it is best to hone skills with some practice exercises. Use the drawing tools below to practice drawing in a few streamlines for asymptotes and centers of circulation. Wind speeds are all 10 knots for simplicity. The completed streamlines are available upon clicking "done".
Question 1 of 6
Analyze a single streamline from west to east using the pen tool below

Question 2 of 6
Analyze a diffluent asymptote and at least two other streamlines

Question 3 of 6
Analyze a confluent asymptote and at least two other streamlines
| Tool: | Tool Size: | Color: |
|---|---|---|
Question 4 of 6
Analyze a cyclonic indraft using at least two confluent asymptotes
| Tool: | Tool Size: | Color: |
|---|---|---|
Your streamlines should look something like the ones above in black. With more observations extending outward from this indraft, we could pinpoint where the additional streamlines would join the two confluent asymptotes here, but for now this is sufficient.
Question 5 of 6
Analyze a anticyclonic outdraft using at least two diffluent asymptotes
| Tool: | Tool Size: | Color: |
|---|---|---|
Your streamlines should look something like the ones above in black. With more observations extending outward from this outdraft, we could pinpoint where the additional streamlines would diverge from the two diffluent asymptotes here, but for now this is sufficient.
Question 6 of 6
Complete the analysis of flow in vicinity of a neutral point that has been started below. Remember - streamlines are spaced at roughly even intervals!

Your streamlines should look something like the ones above in black.
