1.1 pg. 33
a)State Geography• Making sure you know geography of the country• Simply list the state names• Whip out an atlas or google maps if you need help, especially for part
(b)

1.4 pg. 36
Converting Temperature Units• Temperature commonly measured in 3 different units• Absolute zero is 0 K• Convert to ᵒC and ᵒF
• ᵒC = K - 273.15 ᵒF = (9/5)* ᵒC + 32
• Equations also found on pg. 10• Remember order of operations

1.7 pg. 38
Isoplethinga)• Isopleths are lines of equal value• Allows you to visualize maps easier• Start with benchmark values to isopleth• Want lower values on one side and greater values on other• Be sure to label lines• Example
![Page 7: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

b)• Isopleths can close on themselves to form a circle• Use the same method as (a)c)• Real-world example• Take your time since it’s a bit tougher• Procedure remains the same

Isopleth Examples
• Most weather maps will have some type of isopleth• Common examples are
-Isotherm: temperature-Isobar: pressure-Isotach: wind speed-Isodrosotherm: ???

1.10 pg. 41
*NOTE: no (b)Gradientsa)• Gradients used to measure change in one variable over another
variable• Here, • Distance is constant for all paths (30 km)• Read the question fully• Don’t forget units
![Page 11: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Gradient Example
• What is the gradient from G to H?
G
H

c)• Interpret what the gradients mean physicallyd)• Read the question fully to help you answer it• Remember your wind directions (East wind = blowing from the East)• Give reasoning behind your answerse)• Refer back to part (d) and follow the same guidelines

2.1 pg. 75
Stefan – Boltzmann Lawa)• Stefan-Boltzmann Equation,
where, E = energy emitted by object, = constant, and T = temperature of object
• Don’t forget to convert to Kelvin• Ratio is simply, b)• Apply the Stefan-Boltzmann equation
![Page 14: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stefan-Boltzmann Law Example
• What is the ratio of energy emitted per unit area of a campfire and a human body? Assume the average temperature of the objects is 600 and 32 respectively.
![Page 15: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

c)• Read the question fully for clues• Think of how our planet is heated• Do further research• Fully explain your answer
![Page 16: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
2.2 pg. 75
Wien’s Law• Amount of radiation object emits depends on its temperature• Wien’s Law can solve the wavelength of max emission given an
object’s temperature , where λ = wavelength and T = temperature
• Make sure temperature is expressed in Kelvins
![Page 17: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Wien’s Law Example
• Calculate the wavelength of maximum emission for Neptune if the average temperature is -200
![Page 18: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2.6 pg. 77
Incoming/Outgoing Radiation Budget• Big Hint: think of how much radiation is being emitted by the object• Use past problems to help• Is this more or less than what the object is absorbing?• Interpret your results with reasoning
![Page 19: Lab 1 : Meteo 003 Due: Friday, Sept. 4 th in Class](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f445503460f94c65af3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Biggest Tips for Lab 1
• Make sure you convert temperature to Kelvins• Don’t forget units• Read the questions fully, many have hints to help you• Answer every question• Give reasoning when asked to explain• Come for help if needed
