What formulas should we know for Meteorology? Seems mostly theory and extrapolation from charts/graphs as far as I can tell...not encountered any formulas yet!

Like do you know the names or even what the use of the formula was for?

I can't remember much, but there was degree days which I knew, converting F to C, and some more, but mostly looking at and analyzing charts and info.

Just wondering? Has anybody else experienced a meteorology test in stations? If so, how was it like, and how much harder/easier is it than a regular test? We just had one at state, and there were many little stations with 2-4 problems at each. This made it nearly impossible to split up, making the time limit really hard to meet. To test makers often do stations tests for pure study events?
Problems are better pursued with General Electric GE90-115 engines.

2016 Nats:
Road Scholar:4th 8-)
Bottle Rockets: 9th
Meteorology: 11th
Gliders: 21st

(other events: Green Gen, Crime Busters, Helicopters, Hovercraft, Air trajectory)

I have never seen a station test for any of my study events. It's too complicated, and I feel like stations should be exclusive for certain events.

That's what I was thinking, and the rules don't say anything about stations, like some event rules say.

I agree. I have only participated in a Meteorology station test once, and it was horrible.
