Surface Al data Analysis for 2Zp JL 10 86 32 93 067 54 86.13757 096 145 80 120 64 138 42 87 140 54 73 15 37 74 69 143 The upstream location we found on the 500 mb chart in south-southeastern lowa has been noted on this map. This location does not have a station model, but there are station models nearby. Based on the nearby stations, answer the following questions. (Include units with your answers.) *You will need to do some estimation! For example, if you are halfway between 2 stations with temperatures of 320 and 400, the temperature at your location is probably about 370. 1. What is the temperature in south-southeastern lowa? 2. What is the dewpoint temperature in south-southeastern lowa? 3. What is the sky condition in south-southeastern lowa? 4. What is the sea level pressure in south-southeastern lowa?

Explanation / Answer

1) What is the temperature in South-Southeastern Iowa?

Answer - 86.5 F

Explanation - The mean temperature calculated by considering the nearest of the two locations with station model data gives 86.5 F reading.

2) What is the dewpoint in South-Southeastern Iowa?

Answer - 62 °F

Explanation - Again the mean of the two locations that are nearest to the point of consideration (South-southeastern Iowa) gives 62 °F

3) What is the sky condition in South-Southeastern Iowa?

Answer - Scattered clouds (Approx 25% cloud cover)

Explanation - The station model figure in the surrounding locations show such conditions.

4) What is the sea level pressure in South-Southeastern Iowa?

Answer - 141 or 1014.1 mb

Explanation - The mean of two locations that are placed near the point of observation gives this reading.
