Problem 9

Problem 9: (worth 5 points total – points are listed below) Classify the climate for a location of your choice in the state of Ohio Log onto www.weatherbase.com. This site has the mean precipitation and temperature data that you will need for classifying the climate for a station/city in Ohio that you choose for this question. You will first see a page that you can browse by country (see example on the following page). Select United States and then select Ohio. You will only need those cities/locations to select from Ohio. When you select a location, you will see annual and monthly averages for both data sets (see example on the following page). Make sure you use °C and mm, NOT °F and inches. Once you select degrees Celsius, your average precipitation table will automatically change to millimeters (mm). Copy the monthly average temperature (°C) and average precipitation (mm) values for the station you select onto a word document and turn in with this assignment. You can highlight or right click the individual table to copy and paste (see next page). You will find a link just below the lab 7 assignment to upload your word document. When you submit your answers for this lib in the link titled, “Lab 7 – Climate Classification”, you will find a problem 9 question that will ask you if you submitted or plan your word document for this assignment. Average temperature and average precipitation data/tables (2 points) Below your tables that you copied and pasted in your word document, type in your answers for 9 A – F.
