4. Calculate the density of air inside the wind tunnel and uncertainty [kg/m3]. Part 2: Calibration of a Pressure Transducer and Scannivalve 1. Zero out the micromanometer and obtain its bias. Apply this bias to all micromanometer measurements.
Hurricane Rick was the second-most intense Pacific hurricane on record and the strongest to ever form during October. Developing south of Mexico on October 15, Rick traversed an area favoring rapid intensification, allowing it to become a hurricane within 24 hours of being declared a tropical depression. An eye began to form during the afternoon of October 16; once fully formed, the storm underwent another period of rapid strengthening. During the afternoon of October 17, the storm attained Category 5 status on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. Several hours later, Rick attained its peak intensity as the second-strongest Pacific hurricane on record with winds of 180 mph (285 km/h) and the barometric pressure bottomed out at 906 mbar (hPa;
Our experiment consists of distilling wine and record the alcoholic content which is called brandy. Pre-Lab Questions: 1) Discuss the phenomenon of rain, in terms of vaporization and condensation. Is rain-water distilled water? Rain water is formed through the water cycle process. Water from Ocean evaporates and rises into the atmosphere.
Berakas Beach On the 10th of November 2011, we went to the Berakas Beach for an investigation on Longshore Drift, Types of Weathering occurred on the beach, Wave Height and Wave Frequency and a Beach audit. On the day of the trip, the weather in the beginning was hot, sunny and dry. As we were approaching the end of the trip, it began to rain and it was cold and wet. We were unable to finish one investigation (Beach Audit) due to rain. I am going to find out whether the wave height and wave frequency determines the type of wave.
Due to this convergence (where winds move to a center point), air is forced to rise over that area. If enough moisture is available, the rising air cools and condenses (as cold air cannot hold water vapor below a certain temperature) into tiny water droplets which constitute the cloud. So, low pressure areas are usually the birth-place of clouds. Sometimes, particularly in the winter, fog forms over a high pressure area due to radiation cooling(due to clear sky conditions over a high pressure area).This fog sometimes lift and forms thick low cloud called "anticyclone gloom".

Magic marker inks are often mixtures of several compounds. Paper chromatography is a common method of separating various components of a mixture. After separation, you can observe the different colors that make up a particular color of magic marker ink. You can also calculate a ratio Rf, which compares how far each compound traveled to how far each solvent (substance that dissolves another substance) traveled during the experiment. Rf = Ds/Df Ds = Distance traveled by the compound Df = Distance traveled by the solvent Materials: coffee filter, tape, isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), water, 3 different color magic markers (not permanent); 3 identical tall, narrow drinking glasses; metric ruler, 3 pencils Pre-lab Questions: List one extensive and one intensive property of marker ink.
EXERCISE 10 PROBLEMS – PART I The following questions are based on the maps of average January sea-level temperatures (Figure 10-1) and average July sea-level temperatures (Figure 10-2): 1. Is the temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region greatest in the winter or summer? Temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region is greatest in the winter. Temperatures near or at the equator only change a few degrees between winter and summer, while the Arctic region changes up to 40 degrees between the seasons. 2.
Days above freezing and nights below −20 °C both occur in the winter. Spring and fall are variable, prone to extremes in temperature and unpredictable swings in conditions. Hot days above 30 °C have occurred as early as March or as late as October, although such events are unusual and brief. Annual precipitation averages around 940 millimetres. There are about 2130 hours of average sunshine
It moved to the north-northwest and intensified into a tropical storm just six hours after forming. Receiving the name Carol, the storm gradually turned to the north, and strengthened under generally favorable conditions.On August 26, the Hurricane Hunters reported an eye, 23 miles (37 km) in diameter despite Carol being a tropical storm. [3] The next day, Carol strengthened to attain hurricane status while located about 345 miles (545 km) east of Cape Canaveral, Florida. With a large anticyclone persisting across the southeastern United States,[4] the motion of Carol turned to a northwest drift. The hurricane continued to strengthen, and Carol reached an initial peak intensity of 105 mph (170 km/h) late on August 27.
[123] The weather is damp relatively frequently and is changeable. The coldest months are January and February, the latter particularly on the English coast, while July is normally the warmest month. Months with mild to warm weather are May, June, September and October. [123] Rainfall is spread fairly evenly throughout the
