Atmosphere and Ocean Circulation – Activity 7 – Temperature and Humidity at the Surface

Temperature affects amount of moisture a given volume of air can hold. Temperature and moisture availability are important in determining what types of organisms can live in particular areas. Temperature affects amount of moisture a given volume of air can hold. Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air.

Sling psychrometer: used to determine relative humidity. Water evaporating from wet bulb reduces temperature relative to dry bulb. More humidity = water evaporates slower, so less difference between wet and dry bulb. Less humidity = water evaporates faster, more difference between them.

Difference between wet and dry bulb temp Relative humidity table (wet/dry bulb method) Dry bulb temp. Difference between wet and dry bulb temp 18° C 10° C Wet bulb temp. Reservoir of water Wet cloth wick Difference between wet bulb and dry bulb = 18 – 10 = 8

Table 7.1. Wet and dry bulb temperatures (°C), % relative humidity and wind speed (km/h) by group for forested location Temperature (C) Location Type Group # Wet Bulb Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Forest 1 2 3 4 5 6 Mean Chose four observation locations, one from each category; forest, grass, parking lot and adjacent to a building. At each location, record in Tables 7.1-7.4 the wet and dry bulb temperatures (C) and relative humidity (%) with the sling psychrometer + psychrometric table and measure the wind speed with the anemometer.

Record data from all other groups on your data sheets Table 7.1 Temperature (C) Location Type Group # Wet Bulb Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Forest 1 2 3 4 5 6 Mean Table 7.2 Temperature (C) Location Type Group # Wet Bulb Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Field (grass) 1 2 3 4 5 6 Mean Table 7.3 Temperature (C) Location Type Group # Wet Bulb Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Parking Lot 1 2 3 4 5 6 Mean Table 7.4 Temperature (C) Location Type Group # Wet Bulb Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Building 1 2 3 4 5 6 Mean

Sample, assume female. Sample, assume male. Don’t sample, gender unknown. For each sampled individual, record gender and age at death. Males Females Birth year Death year Age at death 1856 1932 76 1862 1909 47 1877 1885 1961 1860 1957 97 Table 1.2. Age at death data for individuals by gender, collected by a student pair

Compile data from Table 1.2 into Table 1.3 Review Table 1.2 data collected by each group. Place tick marks as you compile data into “tally” column. Determine number of males and females that died in each age category. Age class Male deaths Female deaths Tally Total < 1 5 1-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 Table 1.3. Student pair data for age at death by gender compiled into group data for age at death by age class and gender
