For this assignment, we will use the surface and upper-level weather analysis maps from the Korean Meteorology Administration to follow the life cycle of one mid-latitude cyclone.

# Choose a 7-day period between Octoboer 27 and November 17. Copy and paste the surface, 500 hPa, 300 hPa weather maps over East Asia every 24 hours in sequence into an Word file.

-Surface and upper-level weather analysis maps can be found from a number of sources. For example, [http://products.weather.com.cn/product/Index/index/procode/JC_TQFX_500hPa.shtml China Meteorological Administration], [http://web.kma.go.kr/chn/weather/images/analysischart.jsp Korean Meteorology Administration],

 For this part, you will learn to identify the low pressure center, draw the isobars, and identify the cold front and the warm fronts on a surface weather map. I highly recommend that you go through these lecture notes developed by Dr Chuck Weidman at the University of Arizona on this topic.
