Review of Assignment 1
3
Problem 7a, b: use graph paper or Microsoft Excel Don’t forget to label title, axis, legend, etc. Interpret the graph you make in part a for part b Problem 10a, b: Clouds radiate in all directions Downwelling Radiation – downward emission of infrared energy Carefully read axis/axis labels of graphs The picture on the right is on pg 64, the discussion there may be useful Chapter 2
4
Chapter 2: Problem 11a, b: IR Satellite Image Upwelling Radiation Why is scale showing temperature for an Infrared Satellite Image? Stefan-Boltzmann equation (E = σT 4 ) Visible Satellite ImageInfrared Satellite Image

Chapter 2: Problem 13a, c, d: UV Index – measurement of the strength of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun at a particular place and time Table on page 81 not 83 Reference: http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/doc/uvradiation.htmlhttp://www.epa.gov/sunwise/doc/uvradiation.html

Chapter 3: Problem 1 Use State College latitude as 40.8N Reference pg. 86 Equinoxes: Autumnal and Vernal Solstices: Summer and Winter Determine the maximum altitude of the sun Example: Need to know: Latitude of your location: 39N Latitude at which sun is directly overhead: 10N Difference = 39N – 10N = 29° *Note: be careful when latitudes are in different hemispheres Maximum altitude of the sun = 90° – D = 90° - 29° = 61°

Chapter 3 Problem 4, 6, and 9a,b,c: Continental locations have larger seasonality than coastal regions Prevailing winds off the water result in less seasonality than off the land
