How can I use the fluctuations in weather data to identify a location along a cold front?
How can I use fluctuations in current weather information to predict future weather conditions as a cold front approaches?
After your careful examination of the April 2005 frontal passage in Exercise 1, you will now examine data from an unknown station in the US. Each group will receive data from different stations at an unknown location. You will receive temperature, precipitation, and pressure data.
Save this word document to obtain your weather data. Save this data to your computer. Create a scatter plot for each weather variable: temperature, pressure and rainfall. Show this initial scatter plot to your instructor before you proceed.
Use the information from Exercise 1 (Links on Left menu) to help you answer the following questions:
1. Which city is Station Five?
- New Martinsville, WV
- Panama City, FL
- Louisville, KY
- Brownsville, TX
- Moorehead City, NC
- Fargo, ND
2. What is your prediction for the next 36 hours for precipitation, pressure, and temperature?
- Add your forecasted data to your scatter plots for precipitation, pressure and temperature.
To complete this assignment, email your instructor 4 items:
- the location name that you chose that corresponds to your weather data
- the scatter plot for temperature which includes the data given to you and your forecasted data
- the scatter plot for rainfall which includes the data given to you and your forecasted data
- the scatter plot for pressure which includes the data given to you and your forecasted data
