Question

activity a: collecting weather data get the gizmo ready: - check that the selected location and date is new york, january 1. - with observe weather selected, click reset ( ). question: how do we measure weather conditions? 1. measure: the time should be 12:00 am, or midnight. notice the weather station, shown at right. select the thermometer. each line on the thermometer represents 2 °f. what is the current temperature? ______ record this value in the first row and of the weather journal on the right side of the gizmo, under temp. (°f). 2. measure: select the anemometer, an instrument used to measure the wind speed and direction. wind direction is the direction the wind is blowing from. for example, a
orth\ wind is moving from north to south. what are the wind speed and direction? ____ record these values in the journal. 3. measure: select the rain gauge. the rain gauge collects any precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, or hail) that falls from the sky. precipitation is measured in inches. is there any water in the rain gauge? __ if not, record \0\ in the journal. 4. measure: select the round hygrometer. the hygrometer measures humidity, or how much water is in the air. humidity is measured as a percentage. perfectly dry air has 0% humidity, while air with a maximum amount of moisture has 100% humidity. what is the current humidity? ____ record this value in the journal. 5. record: select the pause simulation every three hours box. click play. at 3:00 am, record the temperature, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, and humidity in the journal. then click play and repeat for 6:00 am. copy your data into the table below. | time | temp. (°f) | wind spd. (mph) | wind dir. | precip. (in) | hum. (%) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3:00 am | | | | | | | 6:00 am | | | | | |

Explanation:

This problem involves measuring weather conditions using instruments like thermometers, anemometers, rain gauges, and hygrometers, which falls under the subfield of Geography (a subfield of Natural Science) as it relates to studying atmospheric conditions and weather measurement.

Answer:

The subfield is Geography (under Natural Science).
