Analysis:
The weather didn’t change much throughout my ten days of observation. There were a few days with rain, but otherwise, the weather was very consistent.
The weather on the tenth day was on April 28. The high temperature was 54.2 degrees Fahrenheit and the low temperature on 4/28 was78.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity was 33.6%. The wind speed was at 5.9mph. The wind direction was Southwest. The daily rain was 0.00” that day. The barometric pressure at 29.96”Hg. The Wind Chill/Heat Index reading was 68.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The dew point was 39.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, on April 28, there were cumulus clouds.
Temperature can be measured in a few different ways. Temperature can be measured in Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin. In the United States, the standard way of measuring temperature is in degrees Fahrenheit. We can measure temperature for a lot of reasons. Temperature can be used to predict weather. For example, if it were to be below thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit and there was precipitation, there would be a possibility of snow. In this lab, the temperature stayed steady for the first four days. Then on the fifth day, the temperature dropped lower. Then on day 6, the temperature increased from what it was on day five. Then the temperature went down some on day seven and remained there through day eight and day nine. The temperature was a lot higher on the tenth day then it had been throughout the rest of my observations. The temperature changes may have been caused by air masses. The days where it was warmer could have been a result of Maritime Tropical masses that might have made their way to the Eastern United States. On cooler days, Continental Polar air masses may have moved to the Eastern United States to create these results.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of vapor in the air needed to saturate the air. The reason people would measure humidity is because the higher the humidity is, the faster things can be absorbed and dried. If the humidity is lower, it will take liquids on the earth longer to dry. For the first two days the humidity stayed steady. On the third day, the humidity increased greatly. The humidity stayed the same on day four. On day five the humidity went down and kept going down until day six. Then the humidity went up on day seven. The humidity on day eight was almost the same as it was on day seven. On day nine, it went down and on day ten, the humidity was very low again.
The dew point indicates the amount of moisture in the air. The dew point can be measured using a Sling Psychrometer. The room temperature is taken with the Sling Psychrometer followed by the room temperature again with a wet bulb. Then you take the difference between the temperatures with the dry and wet bulb. To find the dew point, you take the difference between the wet and dry bulb temperature and the dry bulb temperature. You look at a chart. There are rows and columns and you find both temperatures. You find your temperature and go out to the right until you get the part in the column underneath your other temperature, and that number is the dew point, which is measured in degrees Fahrenheit. The dew point was almost the same for days one and two. On day three it was higher and stayed up until day four. On day five, the dew point went down and on day six it went even lower. Then on day seven, it went up and stayed there for days eight and nine. On day ten, the dew point went some.
In this paragraph, I may express variables that I heard from the media meteorologists. I can even express what I know about the weather even though it is not on my data chart. It was warm, so I predicted warmth. Also, since there was no cloud cover at night, I knew it would be cold in the morning because the infrared radiation from the earth escaped into space during the night. The air is less dense when there is moisture in the air. Air molecules move faster when there is more heat. A solid is an object with definite structure that cannot be altered without a change in state first. So what is silly putty and play-doh. They can change their structure so does that mean they aren’t solids?I don’t think they’re liquids though. So maybe it has to do with the weather. Another factor that isn’t on my data table that could affect the weather that I know is El Nino. Also there could have been monsoons or hurricanes. None of these were included on my data table.
So in conclusion, weather occurs.
