Temperature and Humidity Lab Name__ __________________ This activity will look at two of the most fundamental and important elements of weather: temperature and humidity. Objectives: 1. The students will discover the need for measuring instruments to quantify weather observations. 2. The students will learn how to use a sling psychrometer to determine temperature and relative humidity values. 3. The students will explain and understand the difference between absolute and relative

offered a substantial amount of money to buy Greenland‚ but Denmark denied the offer. After WWII ended‚ Denmark regained sovereignty over Greenland‚ but the United States kept the stations because of ideal location. Denmark used Greenland to work on meteorology through 1940’s to the 1950’s‚ but struggled to keep up with the abundance of work and lack of man power. The United States stepped in to help to continue the research for meterology in Greenland. “The formation of NATO in 1949 turned USA and Denmark

ABIOTIC FACTORS AND ITS ENVIRONMENT Abstract Abiotic factors in the environment can affect an individual’s conditions‚ habits and activities. Tropics have altering weather conditions even if there is no seasonality. It may be sunny at a certain period of time then it will be overcast all of a sudden. Testing abiotic components would help us show diversity in different kinds of environment. Three varied location were selected; A classroom‚ a busy street (Recto Ave.) and the university garden

Is Global Warming Real? Global warming has becoming an increasingly important issue in our environmentally conscious society as it is a problem affecting every aspect of the environment and the living beings everywhere on this planet. Yet‚ it is quite controversial as to its nature‚ cause‚ and the effects it will bring along in the future. The average temperature of the earth’s surface has risen by 0.8 degree Celsius since 1880. The International Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC)‚ based on the

In India‚ the space program was formerly launched in 1972 with the setting up of the Space Commission and the Department of Space. Advancement in areas of communication‚ meteorology‚ resources survey & management‚ develop satellites‚ launch vehicles & associated ground systems were the initial objectives. Since then‚ India has made impressive progress in this field. Space technology has not only enhanced India’s communication capabilities‚ but has also contributed in meteorological forecasting

It almost sounds like a mad max scenario‚ but the sad fact is‚ it’s far from fiction. I’m Matt Hindmarsh from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and I believe that as the caretakers of this planet we must strive together to reduce our carbon emissions and… save the planetBACKGROUND:We’ve all heard about Climate Change and you’ve now heard me list some of its disastrous effects‚ but what

marine biology and includes observations at the biochemical‚ cellular‚ individual‚ and community levels as well as the study of marine ecosystems and the biosphere. The study of marine ecology also includes the influence of geology‚ geography‚ meteorology‚ pedology‚ chemistry‚ and physics on marine environments. The impact of human activity such as medical research‚ development‚ agriculture‚ fisheries‚ and forestry is also studied under marine ecology. In some ways‚ marine ecology is more complex

Noise pollution (or environmental noise) is displeasing human‚ animal or machine-created sound that disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life. The word noise comes from the Latin word nauseas‚ meaning seasickness. The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly construction and transportation systems‚ including motor vehicle noise‚ aircraft noise and rail noise.[1][2] Poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution‚ since side-by-side industrial and residential buildings
