Temperatures ranged from 32 degrees to 50 degrees with either cloudless skies or skies with few cirrus clouds. Wind speeds and directions varied. Seven days were classified as overcast. Daytime heating is lessened because cloud cover blocks radiation penetration. This was evidenced in cooler temperatures following successive overcast days. Eleven days were classified as partly or mostly cloudy. Three days in November were characterized by morning fog. Approximately 1.75 inches of rain fell during the month, .5-inch during the period November 4-5, one inch during November 17-18, less than .5-inch during November 25-26, and less than .25 inches on the final day of the month.
Cirrus clouds are indicative of a warm front. Cirrus clouds were noted on the 1st, 12th, 13th, and 24th; warmer weather followed each day but on the 25th, when the clear sky turned partly cloudy and a small amount of precipitation fell. Cirrus clouds grade into cirrostratus and blend with sheets of altostratus clouds, creating conditions for rain. Although sheets of gray altostratus clouds were observed, fully covering the sky, from November 9-11, no rain fell during that period and the...
This was seen in the middle of the month, when temperatures fluctuated between 42 degrees on the 11th to 49 degrees on the 18th. There were only two clear days during that period, as noted above, although the 18th was mostly clear. Otherwise, the days were cloudy or completely overcast. This was the period which experienced the greatest rain fall for the month.
A marked temperature drop and wind shift from the southwest to the northwest generally accompany a frontal passage. This was seen most dramatically in the weather data for the period November 17-21, when the temperature plummeted from a balmy high of 60 degrees at 10 a.m. To just above freezing at the same time a few days later. These frontal passages were reflected in the newspaper weather maps observed during the time period.
The five-day forecasts for the observation period were quite accurate overall, with predicted high and low temperatures matching actual temperatures within an acceptable tolerance of up to 5 degrees.…
Atmosphere Atmospheric circulation is initiated when mass moves in the atmosphere. The motion can be vertical or horizontal. Atmospheric forces cause air to move, modifying the difference in pressure. Vertical and horizontal movements combine to modify temperature and pressure at local levels (Chou & Neelin, 2004). High precipitation in the temperate regions is occasioned by differential solar heating of the planet due to axial tilt, rotation and proximity to the sun. The
In conclusion, both of these planets, which are closest to the Earth in miles, are a world away in their weather and atmosphere. Mars is a desert planet of extremes that can be exceedingly cold and enormously windy, while Venus is a planet covered in clouds and extremely hot. Both planets have several weather-related events that are quite similar to Earth, but there are shocking differences, as well. As scientists
The story that Lawrence writes bears the entire existentialist anguish of the 20th century. The boy needs a parallel and imaginary universe, with the horse as its centerpiece, on which to base his existence, mainly because of an attempt to avoid and evade his own existence. This is where his imagination meets his remarkable gift for choosing horses at the race track. On the other hand, in Greene's story, the existentialist
atmosphere is filled with toxic chemicals which technology and policy tries to deal with and eliminate in various ways. Reducibly, however, certain workers have to work with toxic chemicals. The question then becomes one of how to make this environment as healthy as possible and how to rid the environment of these elements in as rapid and complete a ways as possible so that the atmosphere remains healthy for
Marketing Questions and eBay Atmosphere and the retail environment There can be little doubt that retailers believe consumers will be influenced by the shopping environment; retailers will spend large amounts of money to manage the retail spaces to attract customers and encourage spending (Kotler & Keller, 2011). Arguably, the atmosphere or the way a shop 'feels' is the most important element of the environment is perceived by the shops customer. If a
This works in relation to the old man's desire to stay at the cafe because it is nothing that awaits him when he goes home. In the bright cafe, the world is literally a brighter place. Hoffman notes, "Because nada appears to dominate 'A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,' it has been easy to miss the fact that the story is not about nada per se but the various available human
