LAB: DAILY WEATHER MAPS Weather stations are found in almost all regions on the earth’s surface. At each station, the various conditions of the lower atmosphere (troposphere) are recorded. This data is sent to a central recording station where it is recorded on maps and later analyzed. Weather maps are made for surface conditions as well as upper level conditions of the troposphere. A simplified model for recording weather data is shown below. Weather Map 1 (see next page)Study the simplified station model above. What type of weather is shown at this station example? [2]Only the last three figures of a pressure reading are shown. For example, above instead of recording 996.5mb or 99.65 kPa it is written as 965. How would each of the following pressure readings be shown on a weather map?994.7 mb (99.47kPa) [1]1004.6mb (100.46kPa) [1]The smooth lines on the chart are isobars. What is the pressure interval at which they are drawn? [1]What does the H and L represent on the map? [1]Were temperatures above or below freezing in your area on the evening of September 27? [1]What are the weather conditions in the following locations:Trout Lake, Canada [1]Prince George, Canada [1]Coppermine, Canada [1]Knob Lake, Canada [1]Tampa, USA [1]Miami, USA [1]Los Angeles, USA [1]Regina, Canada [1]Daily Weather MapReading daily weather maps is a useful skill for all people, not just physical geographers. Most newspapers include a daily weather map, and local television news programs usually show some sort of weather map during the weather report. The weather maps used here contain the elements found on the types of weather maps you are probably familiar with, but these maps also contain additional information on the weather. There are two weather maps of North America
