How to determine Dew Point & Humidity
Use a sling psychrometer:
1. Find the "dry bulb temp"
2. Subtract the dry and wet bulb.
3. Find the difference on the top
Use the exact same procedure for finding the Relative HumidityCHECK YOUR CHART!!

Moving air is called Wind

Wind
Basic Rules:
1. Warm air rises
2. There is always air
3. Warm air cools off
4. The Sun heats the GROUND
Wind is caused by differences in air
pressure

Isomaps & Wind
Isobars:connect pointsof equal pressureThe closer the linesthe higher the windspeed.

Think of contourmaps made of hills of air...

There is always a more complex map

wind is measured by an anemometer (wind speed) and a wind vane (direction)
Wind moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
Coriolis Effect: Because the earth is rotating, wind appears to curve.
In the northern hemisphere it curves to the right.
The Rules of Wind

Coriolis Effect
Because the Earth isrotating, the movementof objects appearsto curve.
In the NORTH thecurve is to the right.
