A Trip to Pagasa
A Trip to PAGASA!
After Quezon City Memorial Circle (QCMC), we went on our second destination, the Philppine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration famously known PAGSA. We went there at exactly 10:15 in the morning. I’ve learned a lot from this trip to PAGASA. The field of science that they are teaching in astronomy. First, they have discussed about the weather we commonly experience nowadays. We are experiencing cold weather due to the northeast monsoon. The Philippines has an average of twenty storms annually and their names are arranged alphabetically. They also shared to us the signs that they are using for monitoring our weather. Yellow sign signifies moderate rain, and means strong rain, white is cloudy and blue tells clear sky. Using a big screen, they showed to us some details about water cycle, how a tornado formed, thundrstorms, lightning and thunder and tropical cyclone.
Another informations are the different shapes of clouds. Cirrus clouds have a shape of a tail of horse. Cumulus clouds have cauliflower shape and stratus clouds have blanket of grey. They are using weather instruments namely: *thermometer *anemometer *rain gauge *electronic wether sensors *sunshine recorders *hygrometer *barometer *weather radar *weather satellite
Next, they gave us details on how they measure and give signals to the rains that we experience. Signal #1 : 35-60 kph Signal #2 : 61-100 kph Signal #3 : 101-184 kph Signal #4 : 185 kph
Lastly, they gave us safety measures in case of having heavy rains and floods. We must always be ready anytime on these natural calamities. We left there at around 11:00 in the morning for another destination that awaits us. A trip to PAGASA, a nice trip to remember. A trip to PAGASA, a trip full of knowlege that we’ve learned.
