Question

On your web browser go to The Weather Underground http://www.wunderground.com/. Once at that location enter a location (city and state) in the search bar. You will find quite a bit of information on the page. Scroll down the page and you will see a section titled weather stations. Select a weather station and you will see a page with weather data and weather graphs. Note that you can select graphs for various periods of times (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and custom). Look at the Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed, and Wind Direction graphs. In the barometric pressure graph you will note the pressure rising and falling but I also want you to note the rate at which it falls and rises. Now see if you can find a correlation between wind speed, wind direction, and barometric pressure (rising pressure, falling pressure, and speed of pressure change). Write on what you have discovered

Miami, Florida – 10 days Weather Forecast from 08/10 to 08/19 observations:

Observations from Forecast graph starting from Wed 08/10 to Fri 08/10

Wind Speed – on 08/10 it was fluctuated from 0 to 16 km/hr, increased up to 24 km/hr on 08/14 with highs and lows varying from 8 to 24 km/hr. From 08/14 to 08/19 period again wind speed decreased and reached on 08/19 to low of 6km/hr and high of 16 km/hr

Wind Direction- on 08/10 day direction of wind was towards north and changed to east on 08/11, ESE on 08/12 and continued east and ESE till 08/19.

Barometric Pressure – Barometric pressure was high on 08/10 started form 1019 hPa expected to be lowest of 1014 hPa on 08/12 and again it is raised up to 1019 hPa on 08/17and again it is expected to be decrease up to 1016 hPa on 08/19.

Barometric pressure was highest on 08/10 (near to 100%) and gone down to lowest on 08/12 (near to 0%). Mostly it is fluctuated around 50% level and raised again on 08/16 & 17 to the level of 08/10 day.

The rate of fall and rise Barometric Pressure is almost 100%, because it was near to 100% on 08/10 fell down to zero percent on 08/12 and again raised to ~100% on 08/16 &17 and fell down to on 08/19 day.

There is no correlatable relation between wind speed, direction and Barometric pressure. They are changing randomly not possible to correlate particular trend.
