1 2-2 Final Project Milestone One: Identifying and Investigating the Data Southern New Hampshire University SCI-310: Geostatistics and Data Analysis Emily Donahue November 5, 2023
2 Temperature and precipitation are two of the most important factors to consider when it comes to meteorological analysis. They are basic measurements for describing weather and climate that have wide-ranging effects on ecosystems. Changes in temperature cause changes in precipitation and vice versa. The question I plan to investigate is: What is the relationship between precipitation and temperature? I want to see how temperatures change after precipitation occurs. I will analyze data from numerous stations to answer this question. I am trying to better understand the relationship between changes in precipitation and temperature with the data sample I collect. The state that I will be observing for this project is the state of Tennessee. Tennessee is my home state, and it has a moderate climate. It experiences four distinct seasons with warm, humid summers and cool winters. Temperature averages around 40 degrees in the winter and 83 in the summer. Precipitation is abundant and occurs year-round throughout the state. I will be sourcing a year’s worth of data from each station to obtain an accurate and diversified data sample. Tennessee’s variety in weather conditions throughout the year will make this state a good option for observation for this report. (ETSU, n.d.) The data fields that I will be focusing on for this report will be precipitation, high temperature, and low temperature. The locations within my state that I will use in my analysis are all located within the Middle Tennessee region. I have chosen twenty stations located across this region to collect precipitation and temperature data. The time range that I have chosen is October 1 st, 2022, to October 1 st, 2023, which will give me a year’s worth of data. All these locations did not have the average daily temperature data available, which I need to answer my question. I will be estimating the daily average temperature by averaging the daily high and low
