1. The question provides us those following weather information of one specific place: Maximum Temperature, Minimum Temperature, Average Temperature, Dew Point, Sunrise, Sunset, and Pressure. The date has been recorded daily for six months from April 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2015.

2. After calculate the Mean, Median, and Standard Deviation for Maximum Temperature, Minimum Temperature, Dew Point and Pressure, we can that this place has a moderate climate for the time period it recorded. There is not a huge different in temperature between its data in the beginning of the summer and its data at the end of the fall. Also, the pressure of the place stays perfectly stable. It only changes slightly over the six months. Moreover, the median

From the correlation relationship coefficient we get by calculation. We can know that there is strong correlation between average temperature and the dew point. Which means that as the average temperature increase, the dew point will also increase. Besides, we can also know that there is no correlation between the average temperature and pressure, which means that the pressure of this place will not be affected by the temperature here. It is also the same between the sunrise and the maximum temperature, the change of one of them will not affect the other. Moreover, the data also shows us that there is a strong negative correlation between the Sunrise and the Sunset, which totally make sense for those two event take place in opposite time of the data and all the factor are different.

4. From the two plots we draw for the correlation between Minimum temperature and the Maximum Temperature and the correlation between Dew point and Pressure, we can easily learn from the graph that there is a strong correlation between the Minimum temperature and the Maximum Temperature since there is a upward sloping shown in the plot, which means that then the Maximum Temperature of a day increase, the Minimum temperature of that day will also increase, vice-versa. Moreover, we can also know from the graph that there is no correlation between the dew point and the pressure for there is only meaningless dot been shown on the plot

    The figure below shows how stonefly pushups increase at low oxygen stress and then decrease at the high oxygen stress to where they are similar to the control. The difference between the middle bar and the first bar is significant, as the error bars would not overlap. The pattern makes sense because as the organisms were stressed, they did more pushups, but at extreme oxygen deprivation, they are unable to do as many pushups. Figure 1. Differences in average number of pushups (n=43) for small individuals of the Common Stonefly (order) found in a mixed hardwood forest in Pennsylvania, that were exposed to three different oxygen levels.…

    Wind patterns and air masses, the land/water contrast, and the ocean currents are the three of the five climate controls that impact the temperature and precipitations at both location. Although these three climate controls affects both St. Louis and Singapore, the wind patterns and air masses, the ocean currents, and the land /water contrast are more influential on the climate at Singapore than on St. Louis since Singapore is closer to the large bodies of water, which means that it is affected heavily by the ocean waters that surrounds it compared at St. Louis. St. Louis is located on a landmass, while the incoming temperature is a constant in Singapore because of the ocean current throughout the year. Latitude is one of the five climate…

    My science fair project involves soda bubbles and temperature. I chose this project because I’m interested in the viscosity(a chemical in soda) that is part of a soda/liquid, and how the viscosity is affected by the temperature of the liquid. I am also interested in bubbles specifically their length of time, so it would be interesting to see how the length of time is affected by temperature. The question that I am going to answer is, how does the temperature of soda affect the length of time of bubbles? The independent variable in the project being done is the temperature.…

    We have five gross patterns of temperatures that are controlled by five factors, altitude, latitude, land-water contrast, and ocean currents as described in (Hess, 2011 McKnight’s Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation, New Jersey, pg. 89). The five factors climate patterns that affect Kansas City, Missouri and Bangkok, Thailand, which are a thousand and thousands of miles apart. The latitude has an influence on climate due to the Earth tilt and the changing angle of incoming solar different time of the year. The altitude for both of these places are about the same.…

    Changes in the seasonal averages between the first and second ensemble would indicate that climate change is affecting the mean-state of the sinuosity and atmospheric circulation patterns. Changes in the standard deviation would indicate that variability is increasing or decreasing from climate change. Variability is an important indicator because the mean may stay the same, but the probability of more extreme events on the outer edges of the probability distribution tails may increase. Seasonal variations and trends are important because changes in sinuosity seasonally can result in different weather extremes. In the summer, it could lead to more heat extreme weather…

    Below, one representative graph and a set of sample calculations are included which will show how the values for the enthalpy of combustion of the fuel sources are deduced. Graph 1: Scatter plot showing the change in the temperature of 80.0mL of distilled water in the tin calorimeter during and after the combustion of the kerosene for the first conducted trial. The linear trendline was created for the last three data points, where the water was allowed to cool, which was then extrapolated backwards to account for the total decrease in the temperature of the water due to a loss of heat energy to the surrounding environment. The difference between the highest and lowest temperature values will then be used to calculate the total change in…

    In this essay I will assess the Medias representation of the UK’s predicted winter of 2015/16 in association with El- Niño and compare with the scientific knowledge of this topic. The media is the leading source of communication globally, with the British public dedicating 6 weeks of their lives talking about the weather (Daily Mirror cited in Gavin et al, 2011, p.423). The media’s tendency to simplify and overexpose information has often resulted in repudiated claims because of misrepresentation. However, it could be argued that simplifying information in order to model/represent complex material is something well practiced in scientific fields; which is also vital for the media, as a healthy democracy has a general interest in scientific issues (Hargreaves et al cited in Gavin et al, 2011). Global weather is an open system in a dynamic equilibrium, this means that all weather systems interlink and has impacts over latitude due to atmospheric and oceanic changes caused by El-Niño.…

    4.6 Model building for monthly temperature series According to Takele (2012), the process of model fitting involves data plotting, data transformation if necessary, identification of dependence order, estimation of parameter, diagnostic analysis and choosing appropriate model. In this section, a univariate SARIMA methodology is used to model maximum and minimum monthly temperatures of Nairobi. 4.7 Model Identification ACF and PACF plots are used in the identification of the values p, q, P and Q. For the non-seasonal part, spikes of the ACF at low lags are used to identify the value of q while the value of p is identified by observing the spikes at low lags of the PACF. For the seasonal part the value of Q is observed from the ACF at lags that are multiples of S…

    1998; Liu and Zhang 2013). According to the Penman-Monteith method, most of the meteorological parameters are affecting by ETref including air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity and solar radiation. These four meteorological parameters contribute to the change in ETref which are elaborately assessed in this study. In addition, various attribution analysis techniques have been applied to determine the contribution of meteorological parameters on ETref changes. The most widely used technique is sensitivity coefficient analysis which has been employed to measure the probable change of ETref in response to an observed change of meteorological parameters (McCuen 1974; Wang et al. 2015).…
