Station Model Lab - New York Science Teacher
Station Model Lab- 1 - HGB 3/27/2000 Name _____Station Model LabPeriod _____ Date _____At commercial airports throughoutthe country the weather is observed,measured and recorded. In New YorkState alone there are over a dozenobservation sites. These stations record:temperature, dew point, cloud cover,visibility, height of cloud base, amount ofprecipitation, wind speed and winddirection to name a few. Themeasurements made every hour at everystation around the world. This is a verylarge amount of data, which can be veryuseful in predicting the challenge is that a largeamount of data needs to be communicatedto every weather Station in the of the lack of space on weathermaps, the weather information needs tobe coded. In order to do this theinformation needs to be highly organizedand standard throughout country. Byusing Station models the data can berepresented by a symbol or number, andit s meaning is easily understood by wherethe symbol or number is placed on thestation this lab you will learn tounderstand Station models used inmeteorology by coding and decoding avariety of MAP INFORMATIONSTATION MODEL31 **26112 + ( F)Dew Point ( F)PrecipitationTypeVisibility (mi)BarometricPressure ( mb)Barometer Trend (aincreasing mb risein the past 3 hours)Precipitation (inches in the past 6hrs)Wind DirectionFrom the So
