Hi folks,

Some of you were asking about question 6 on the problem set and whether we want
a numerical solution. We do, but as you've pointed out to me, there's not 
enough information on the problem for a numerical solution.

So, please assume that the pressure contour interval is 2 hPa, and that the
mean temperature contour interval is 2 K. Now that you know the pressure and
temperature gradients, you should be able to figure out the 500 hPa wind.
