To determine

Decode information from each of the following station models:

Answer to Problem 1E

Sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb

Temperature 37⁰ F

Dew-point temperature 21⁰ F

Sky coverage CLEAR

Explanation of Solution

The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb. Temperature 37⁰ F, dew-point temperature with clear sky coverage. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.

Decode information from each of the following station models:

Answer to Problem 1E

Current weather CONTINUOUS LIGHT SNOW

Sea-level pressure 999.7 mb

Temperature 27⁰ F

Dew-point temperature 20⁰ F

Sky coverage OVERCAST

Wind speed 23-27 KNOTS

Wind direction NORTH WEST

Pressure change

during last three hours 1.1 mb

Pressure tendency FALLING

Explanation of Solution

The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.7 mb. Temperature 27⁰ F, dew-point temperature 20⁰ F with cloudy sky.  The current weather of the area is continuous light snow. This weather represents a dry, windy conditions of the area because of high wind, low temperature and dew point temperature. Chances of rain are expected due to falling pressure. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.

To determine

Decode information from each of the following station models:

Answer to Problem 1E

Sea-level pressure 999.8 mb

Temperature 63⁰ F

Dew-point temperature 60⁰ F

Sky coverage PARTLY CLOUDY

Current weather THUNDER WITH LIGHT RAIN

Explanation of Solution

The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.8 mb. Temperature 63⁰ F, dew-point temperature 60⁰ F with partly cloudy sky.  The current weather of the area is light rain with thunderstorms. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.

Radioactivity has provided a reliable means for calculating the numerical (absolute) age of rocks, a procedure called radiometric dating. Radioactive isotopes, such as uranium-238, emit particles from their nuclei that we call radiation. Ultimately, the process of decay…
