Atmosphere and Ocean Circulation – Activity 7 – Temperature and Humidity at the Surface

�Temperature and moisture availability are important in determining what types of organisms can live in particular areas. �Temperature affects amount of moisture a given volume of air can hold. �Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air.

�Sling psychrometer: used to determine relative humidity. �Water evaporating from wet bulb reduces temperature relative to dry bulb. �More humidity = water evaporates slower, so less difference between wet and dry bulb. �Less humidity = water evaporates faster, more difference between them.

Relative humidity table (wet/dry bulb method) Difference between wet and dry bulb temp Dry bulb temp. 18° C 10° C Wet bulb temp. Wet cloth wick Reservoir of water Difference between wet bulb and dry bulb = 18 – 10 = 8

Wet and dry bulb temperatures (°C), % relative humidity and wind speed (km/h) by group forested location Location Type Forest Group # 1 2 3 4 5 6 Mean Temperature ( C) Wet Bulb Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) �Chose four observation locations, one from each category; forest, grass, parking lot and adjacent to a building. �At each location, record in Tables 7. 1 -7. 4 the wet and dry bulb temperatures ( C) and relative humidity (%) with the sling psychrometer + psychrometric table and measure the wind speed with the anemometer.

Record data from all other groups on your data sheets Table 7. 1 Location Type Forest Temperature ( C) Group # Parking Lot Dry Bulb Table 7. 2 RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Location Type Temperature ( C) Group # 1 1 2 2 3 3 Field (grass) 4 5 6 6 Mean Temperature ( C) Group # Wet Bulb Dry Bulb Table 7. 4 RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Location Type Group # 1 2 2 3 3 Building Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h) Temperature ( C) 1 4 Wet Bulb 4 5 Table 7. 3 Location Type Wet Bulb 4 5 5 6 6 Mean Wet Bulb Dry Bulb RH (%) Wind Speed (km/h)
