What type of cloud looks like sheep wool and is not associated with any form of precipitation?
Cirrocumulus.
How is New Zealand's climate influenced by the oceanic surroundings?
The oceanic surroundings give a high moisture content and small temperature fluctuations throughout the year.
How is a turbulence inversion formed?
As the surface temperature increases, the surface wind increases creating greater mixing. Air is forced up or down starting the adiabatic process. The inversion forms at about 600-800 ft.
