On the right side of the mountain, ground temperatures are likely to be around 100 o F or more. The
drier the air, the greater the evaporation, and therefore the greater the difference between the
readings of the two thermometers. The diameter of the measuring tube is 2.53 inches. The rain falling
into the receiver A fills this tube C to a depth greater than the actual rainfall, in proportion as the area
of the receiver is greater than the area of the measuring tube. This, as Torricelli correctly explained, is
due to the fact that mercury is so much (13 1? 2 times) heavier than water. Is the relation of
cloudiness to certain wind directions so close that, if you know the wind direction, you can make a
prediction as to the probable cloudiness. This space has since been known as the Torricellian
vacuum. The thermograph should be exposed in the instrument shelter with the other thermometers.
Eventually, it is dense enough that it begins to sink, and this occurs at 30 o latitude, as shown below.
On the other hand, if you talk about the general tendency for it to be cold, windy, and moderately
snowy during that time of year; you'd be talking about the climate. See whether you can draw any
general conclusions as to the greater prevalence of cloud, or of rain or snow, in one month than in
another. Computer programs use mathematics to create models of weather patterns. The revolutions
of the outer dial are recorded on the inner one, and in making an observation of the number of miles
traveled by the wind, the hundreds and tens of miles are taken from the inner dial, and the miles and
tenths from the outer one. We live in the laboratory of the earth’s atmosphere. You will now be able
to give fairly definite answers to many of the questions asked in Chapter I. A blank card is provided
however it is not digitally editable. Wet-bulb readings at the various stations of the Weather Bureau
are entered on all our daily weather maps. Temperature and Precipitation.—Does a shower or a
rainstorm in the hotter months affect the temperature of the air in any way. Dr. Vinod Kumar

observations with the sensible temperatures at various stations of the Weather Bureau, as given on
the daily weather map. It has everything you need for a complete, successful informational text
reading unit. Even the hot, dry air of deserts contains some moisture. These adjustments can readily
be made by means of a screw and a regulator, respectively. Are thunderstorms limited to any
particular season of the year. The wet- and dry-bulb thermometers, together commonly known as the
psychrometer (Greek: cold measure), are simply two ordinary mercurial thermometers, the bulb of
one of which is wrapped in muslin, and kept moist by means of a wick leading from the muslin
cover to a small vessel of water attached to the frame (see Fig. 8). The wick carries water to the bulb
just as a lamp wick carries oil to the flame. The inside diameter of the overflow attachment is the
same as that of the receiver (8 inches), as will be seen from the figure. When invisible it is known as
water vapor, and is a gas. A small quantity of air is left in one of the shells to counteract, by its own
expansion at increased temperature, the tendency of the barometer to register too low on account of
the weakening of the springs. It includes interactive drag and drop annotation marks and fillable text
dependent activities. These changes give a variety to our climate which is, on the whole, very
beneficial to man. Our online Meteorology and Atmospheric Science tutors will.
It takes a column of mercury only 30 inches long to balance a similar column of air. This product is

Summary of Observations.—At the end of each month summarize your instrumental observations in
the following way:— Temperature.—Add together all your temperature readings; divide their sum
by the total number of observations of temperature, and the quotient will give you a sufficiently
accurate mean or average temperature for the month in question. The effects of the air pressure may
become apparent when we remove the air from a surface. When visible, it appears as clouds and fog,
or in the liquid or solid form of rain, snow, and hail. Meteorology, the science of the atmosphere, is
thus of very great interest and importance. Note what depths of snow in different snowstorms are
necessary, when melted, to make 1 inch of water. To be of much value in indicating exact pressures,
it should frequently be compared with and adjusted to a mercurial barometer. Wind velocity still
increasing. “ 3 P.M. “ “ High Wind velocity still increasing. This process of evaporation needs energy
to carry it on, and this energy often comes from the heat of some neighboring body. Air rises and
sinks and absorbs and releases energy. For an optimal experience, please switch to the latest version
of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari or Mozilla Firefox. Weather forecasts also assist
people who work in agriculture, in pollution control agencies, and in the aviation, maritime, and
energy industries. The column of water weighs just the same as the column of mercury. Instead, the
price is unique for every work order you submit. When the lower end of the tube was below the
surface of the mercury in the dish, he removed his finger. Are rainy spells in the spring and the
autumn months cooler or warmer than clear dry weather? P ART II.—INSTRUMENTAL
OBSERVATIONS. CHAPTER II. ELEMENTARY INSTRUMENTAL OBSERVATIONS. On the
other hand, when the temperature falls, the index is drawn towards the bulb by the surface cohesion
of the alcohol, the top or right end of the index thus marking the lowest temperature reached. The
best exposure for the gauge is an open space unobstructed by large trees, buildings, or fences. The
inside diameter of the overflow attachment is the same as that of the receiver (8 inches), as will be
seen from the figure. Did the last month have more high winds than the one before. The table will
now appear thus:— SAMPLE RECORD OF TEMPERATURE, WIND, AND STATE OF THE
SKY. Have the sudden changes, if you have noted any, come at any regular times (as morning,
afternoon, evening) or at irregular intervals. It has been a great hit with many teachers and reluctant
readers. Does a sky wholly covered with clouds always give us rain or snow. Is it a common
occurrence to have a wind from the same direction for several successive days, or are we apt to have
different winds almost every day. Are we likely to have rainy weather with rising barometer. Take on
the outer scale the miles and tenths of miles contained between the zero of that scale and the index
point of the instrument. Homework library items have individual set prices.
Water, for example, happens to have a large heat capacity relative to most other substances, which
means that you have to add (or remove) quite a bit of thermal energy in order to raise (or lower) its
temperature. As the temperature rises, the liquid expands, flows out of the bulb, and rises in the tube.
So, we will have much hotter temperatures on the leeward side of the mountain, and the combination
of hot and dry is the very definition of a desert ecosystem. With the rising air mass still pushing
from underneath, it has no choice but to spill out in both directions at the top, as shown below. If any
water happens to be spilled during its removal from the overflow attachment, then the amount in the
tube will be less than 2 inches, and it must be carefully measured before the latter is emptied. Wind
Cool NE. Moderate 3 A.M. velocity increasing. “ 11 A.M. “ “ Brisk Temperature the same. Pressure
changes are the mechanism through which we add or remove thermal energy from air samples,
because an increase in pressure causes the molecules to move closer together which in turn produces
heat due to friction. The second pointer, which is often found in aneroids, is set by the observer on
the position marked by the index hand when he makes his reading. Why Weather Occurs The Sun
heats Earth’s surface unevenly, making some places warmer than other places. The interest of
thermograph records may be seen in the following figure (Fig. 12), in which curves traced under
different conditions are reproduced. In the United States alone there are about 3000 of these
observers. You'll study suchthings as fronts, low pressure systems, convection, and storm formation.
Part of this moisture is therefore changed, condensed, as it is said, from the condition of water vapor
into that of cloud, fog, rain, or snow. The pen of the thermograph should be frequently adjusted to
make the reading of the instrument accord with that of a standard mercurial thermometer, and care
should be taken to have the clock keep good time. Before beginning observations with the ordinary
instruments, accustom yourself to making and recording observations of a general character, such as
may be carried out without the use of any instruments whatever. In winter are our coldest days
usually cloudy or clear. Another new column must be added in the record book for the cloudiness.

TPT Reported resources will be reviewed by our team. When the air contains as much water vapor as
it can hold, it is said to be saturated. The weather forecasts for the day in the newspaper are read
even before the telegraphic despatches of important events. For example, forecasts predicting when
and where hurricanes will occur allow people who might be affected to prepare for the storm. The air,
upon whose weight the height of the mercury column depends, gains access to the top of the cistern
through leather joints, by which the cistern is joined to the glass tube. The snow which falls into the
gauge may be measured by first melting the snow and then measuring the water as rainfall. This
barometer he used for some months, and made predictions of coming weather changes by means of
it. Importance of Weather Prediction Meteorology uses physics and chemistry to predict weather and
how it will affect Earth. After whirling about 50 times, note the readings, and then whirl the
instrument again, and so on, until the wet bulb reaches its lowest reading. In setting this instrument,
the bulb end is raised until the index slides along the tube to the end of the alcohol column. It has
everything you need for a complete, successful informational text reading unit. The purpose of this
divided tail is to steady the vane and to make it more sensitive to light currents. F IG. 3. A common
wind vane on a neighboring church steeple or flagstaff will usually serve sufficiently well for
ordinary use. Compare the sensible temperatures obtained by your own observations with the sensible
temperatures at various stations of the Weather Bureau, as given on the daily weather map.
In what ways are people in general affected by hot weather. The column of water weighs just the
same as the column of mercury. Were the temperature changes more sudden and marked. In this form
of psychrometer there is no vessel of water and no wick, but the muslin cover of the wet-bulb
thermometer must be thoroughly wet, by immersion in water, just before each observation. A vernier
graduated into twenty-five parts enables the observer to make readings accurately to the one-
thousandth part of an inch. As the temperature rises, the liquid expands, flows out of the bulb, and
rises in the tube. If you make arrangements in advance, and if you are a very fast learner, then yes,
we may be able to help you achieve your goals in 24 hours. For example, forecasts predicting when
and where hurricanes will occur allow people who might be affected to prepare for the storm. For an
optimal experience, please switch to the latest version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple

models can forecast the weather 10 to 30 days ahead of time. Its tube is narrowed just above the
bulb, in such a way that the mercury passes through the constriction with some difficulty. The
temperature at which this change begins is called the dew-point of the air. The length of the mercury
column, therefore, remains the same as it was when the temperature was highest, and the instrument
is read by observing the number of degrees indicated by the top, or right-hand end, of the mercury
column upon the scale. The record book will need two additional columns when wind observations
are begun, as follows: — SAMPLE RECORD OF TEMPERATURE AND WIND. When the total
rainfall more than fills the measuring tube, i.e., exceeds 2 inches, the receiver should first be lifted off
and the tube removed with great care so as not to spill any water. Some of the earliest tools that
meteorologists used to study weather were barometers (which measure pressure in the atmosphere),
wind vanes (which measure the direction of the wind), and thermometers. After setting, the reading
of the maximum thermometer should agree closely with that of the ordinary or dry-bulb thermometer.
Mountain climbers and aeronauts who reach altitudes of 15,000 to 20,000 feet or more, usually suffer
from headache, nausea, and faintness, which have their cause in the reduced pressure encountered at
these heights. FIG. 5. The ordinary mercurial barometer in use to-day is, essentially, nothing more
than the glass tube and vessel of Torricelli’s famous experiment. By means of tables, constructed on
the basis of laboratory experiments, we may, knowing the readings of the wet and dry-bulb
thermometers, easily determine the dew-point and the relative humidity of the air—important factors
in meteorological observations (see Chapter XXVI). Continue your non-instrumental record of the
time of beginning and ending of the precipitation as before. We cannot, under ordinary conditions at
sea level, determine by any of our senses whether the pressure is rising or falling, or is stationary.
Take from the inner scale the hundreds and tens of miles contained between the zero of that scale
and the zero of the outer one. The new technology also enabled meteorologists to explore the upper
atmosphere by attaching instruments to balloons, kites, and airplanes. Are the winds with clouds
more common in one month than another. Rainfall stands in close relation to human life and
occupations. Then the top of the mercury column will give the pressure of the air. On account of this
equal pressure in all directions, we speak of the pressure of the air instead of its weight. The pressure
on the upper floors of one of our high buildings is shown by a barometer to be considerably lower
than it is at the level of the street below, and yet we notice no difference in our feelings at the two
levels. State of the Sky.—By the state of the sky is meant the condition of the sky as to its cloudiness.
When the lower end of the tube was below the surface of the mercury in the dish, he removed his
finger. A proper amount of bright sunshine is essential for the ripening of crops, but too much
sunshine may parch soil and vegetation, and become injurious. Do clouds seem to have certain
definite shapes and appearances which are to be seen often. Writing, researching and editing are
among my strongest points. Note the velocity of the wind according to the following scale, proposed
by Professor H. A. Hazen of the United States Weather Bureau. 0 CALM. 1 LIGHT; just moving the
leaves of trees. 2 MODERATE; moving branches. 3 BRISK; swaying branches; blowing up dust. 4
HIGH; blowing up twigs from the ground, swaying whole trees. 5 GALE; breaking small branches,
loosening bricks on chimneys. 6 HURRICANE or TORNADO; destroying everything in its path. The
drift of clouds shows us the direction of movement of the air above us, and is of considerable help in
forecasting the weather. Having left all it's moisture on the windward side, it's easy to understand
why the leeward side is dry. It is so heavy that only a small column of it is necessary to balance the
atmospheric pressure. An ordinary aneroid barometer is shown in Fig. 6. FIG. 6. In this instrument
the changes in atmospheric pressure are measured by their effects in altering the shape of a small
metallic box, known as the vacuum chamber. Over the oceans, near the equator, the air is hot and
excessively damp, so that there is hardly any cooling of the body by evaporation, and the conditions
are very uncomfortable. Climate describes the average conditions of the atmosphere for a given
region over a long period of time. Hence they are important agents in preserving health. This mean
temperature should be written at the bottom of the temperature column, and marked “Mean.” The
mean monthly temperature is one of the important meteorological data in considering the climatic
conditions of any place. Wind.—Determine the frequency of the different wind directions by
counting the total number of times the wind has blown from N., NE., E., etc., during the month. The
wind which you have observed the greatest number of times is the prevailing wind. A clear sky is one
that is less than 3? 10 cloudy; a fair sky is from 3? 10 to 7? 10 cloudy; and a cloudy sky is over 7?
10 cloudy. It takes a column of mercury only 30 inches long to balance a similar column of air. It is to
be noted that the mean monthly temperatures obtained from these observations will be much more
accurate if the thermometer readings are made at 7 A.M. and 7 P.M., at 8 A.M. and 8 P.M., etc., and
the mean of these is taken; or if the mean is derived from the maximum and the minimum
temperatures, discussed in Chapter III. If any water happens to be spilled during its removal from
the overflow attachment, then the amount in the tube will be less than 2 inches, and it must be
carefully measured before the latter is emptied. Sensors on the satellites send weather data to
meteorologists. For example: if you look outside your window in Philadelphia, PA at 4:50 pm on a
Monday afternoon in January and describe what you see, you'd be talking about the weather. What is
the average variation (in inches and hundredths) in the course of a day. Observations of wind
direction (to eight compass points) are to be made as a part of the ordinary weather record, and to be
entered in the proper column of the record book. For an optimal experience, please switch to the
latest version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari or Mozilla Firefox. Meteorological
Instruments Before tools were developed to study weather, people predicted the weather based on
their own observations. The latter, 19,200 feet above sea level, is the highest meteorological station in
the world. In order that thermometers may indicate this temperature, they must, if possible, be
placed in an open space where there is an unobstructed circulation of the air, and they must be
protected from the direct rays of the sun. Is it usually warmer or colder then than a day or two
before the storm and the day after. In observing the state of the sky, note such points as the times of
clouding and of clearing; the arrangement of the clouds, i.e., whether they are few and scattered, or
cover the sky with a uniform layer; the common forms of clouds; the changes in the amounts of
cloudiness, etc. There is no subject a knowledge of which does more to make our daily life
interesting. What winds are usually accompanied by the largest amount of cloud. At once the column
of mercury fell in the tube until it stood at a height of about 30 inches, leaving a vacant space of 6
inches in the upper part of the tube.
This works great for our daily weather reports from our Pre-K Weather Station. When visible, it
appears as clouds and fog, or in the liquid or solid form of rain, snow, and hail. Before beginning
observations with the ordinary instruments, accustom yourself to making and recording observations
of a general character, such as may be carried out without the use of any instruments whatever. The
height of the water or of the mercury is a measure of the weight or pressure of the air. We can't work
with you on current exams, quizzes, or tests unless you tell us in writing that you have permission to
do so. For this reason a hot day in summer, when the air is comparatively dry, that is, not saturated
with moisture, is cooler, other things being equal, than a hot day when the air is very moist. An
ordinary aneroid barometer is shown in Fig. 6. FIG. 6. In this instrument the changes in atmospheric
pressure are measured by their effects in altering the shape of a small metallic box, known as the
vacuum chamber. The relative humidity of the air is the ratio between the amount of water vapor
which the air contains at any particular time and the total amount which it could contain at the
temperature it then has. Since the altitude change is the same on both sides of the mountain, the
pressure change is of the same magnitude going up and coming down. Does the velocity of the wind
have any effect on your feeling of cold or of warmth. Are there any fairly regular differences
between the sensible temperatures observed at your own station and the Weather Bureau stations.
This product is to be used by the original downloader only. Perfect for a fun reading unit, this
resource includes everything you need for a full week of reading activities about the question “What
is a Meteorologist?” Fun for students and NO PREP for teachers. Meteorologists continue to
develop and use new technology, such as radar, to study the weather on Earth. Frequent comparison
with a mercurial barometer is necessary, the adjustment of the barograph being made by turning a
screw, underneath the column of shells, on the lower side of the wooden case. FIG. 13. Barograph
records are fully as interesting as those made by the thermograph. There are many types of energy -
mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal, just to name a few. The weight of this water on every
square inch of surface would be the same as the weight of the air. The minimum thermometer, when
attached to its support, is either exactly horizontal or else slopes downward somewhat towards the
bulb end, as shown in Fig. 7. These instruments, as their names imply, register the highest and the
lowest temperatures, respectively, which occur during each day of 24 hours. The hour, however,
should be as late as possible, and should not be varied from day to day. The base of the column
being fixed, the upper end rises and falls with the variations in pressure. The dry air will change
temperature more as it heats up moving down the mountain as compared to the moist air cooling off
as it moves up. The inhabitants of the desert are wandering tribes, which move from place to place
in search of water and food for themselves and their animals. Summary of Observations.—At the
end of each month summarize your instrumental observations in the following way:—
Temperature.—Add together all your temperature readings; divide their sum by the total number of
observations of temperature, and the quotient will give you a sufficiently accurate mean or average
temperature for the month in question. Observers taking regular weather records are stationed at
thousands of different places in all parts of the world, and the observations which they make are
used by meteorologists in preparing daily weather maps and forecasts, and in studying the conditions
of temperature, winds, and rainfall. If you're looking for current weather conditions or the science of
Meteorology, and you are in the US, your first stop should be The National Weather Service or
NOAA's National Weather Service Page. Meteorology, the science of the atmosphere, is thus of very
great interest and importance. When the lower end of the tube was below the surface of the mercury
in the dish, he removed his finger. The pen of the thermograph should be frequently adjusted to
make the reading of the instrument accord with that of a standard mercurial thermometer, and care
should be taken to have the clock keep good time. Fahrenheit was a manufacturer of all sorts of
physical apparatus, and it has been thought probable that he had some special facilities for dividing
his thermometer tubes into 180 parts. So far, so good. Let's say the ground air temperature on the left
side of the mountain is 70 o F.
