Presentation transcript:

 open space, away from trees and buildings, in the middle of a field so readings are not affected by shelter they provide  above grass not above concrete; as temperatures above concrete will be artificially high;  in a fenced/walled compound to avoid tampering

 Rain and temperature  Why?

 Used for Urban and Construction Purposes:  To Grow Crops.  To Create Grazing Land:.  Used for Fuel.  Some of the other causes of deforestation are: clearing forests for oil and mining exploitation; to make highways and roads; slash and burn farming techniques; wildfires; and acid rain.

 Hottest month, C  coldest 13 - month 16C  large diurnal range  Under 250mm of rain with no real seasons. Hadley cell
