FINDINGS: STEVENSON SCREEN is a white wooden box in a weather station which is used to house thermometers and hygrometers. Instruments found in it are: - ØMaximum thermometers ØMinimum thermometers ØSix’s thermometers ØHygrometers (wet and dry bulb thermometers)
PHOTOS OF STEVENSON SCREEN
Why is it made of wood? It is made of wood because wood is a bad conductor of heat, This prevent overheating in the box hence accurate temperatures are recorded
Why is it painted white? It is painted white to reflect away solar heat, This prevent overheating of the box which may give different temperatures reading as compared to the actual temperatures in the surrounding
Why is made with louvers? It has louvers to allow free circulation of air in and out the box, This prevent accumulation on air in the box which might alter the reading in thermometers
Why is it raised above the ground? It is raised (120 cm) above the ground to prevent terrestrial radiation, This prevent heating of the box by terrestrial radiation as the land losses heat to the atmosphere
FUNCTIONS It houses thermometers which record minimum and maximum temperatures at the weather station It houses hygrometer which record the amount of humidity at the station
CONCLUSION STEVENSON SCREEN is an important box in the weather station since it houses weather instruments hence preventing damages and breakages since most of them are made of glass, It also provides security to the instruments.
