1. Describe the pattern shown by the temperature isolines.

2. Are there other weather elements which have a distribution with a similar pattern?

3. How is the *temperature boundary* reflected in the cloud pattern you see in the Meteosat IR 10.8 µm image? Refer to the cloud pattern with the lines you drew above.

Explanation:
A temperature boundary condition applies a pre-defined temperature to a node. Instead of calculating temperature as a simulation result, at these nodes the temperature is given by the boundary condition value. This can lead to an inflow of energy into the model when neighboring nodes have a lower temperature or to an outflow from the model when there is a temperature gradient from the neighboring nodes towards the boundary condition.

Temperature boundary conditions are applied in cases where the temperature in groundwater is known in advance. This can be the case for example for fixing the undisturbed ground temperature around a model for the local influence of a ground-source heat exchanger.
