Decoding the Coded Pressure: Insert a decimal point to the left of the last digit 19.6 Put a “9” and a “10” in front of the result Test the results against the range of normal atmospheric pressures is below the range of normal pressures….REJECTED! is within the range of normal pressures….ACCEPTED! Coded pressure 196= mb Decode these coded pressures: Back to the Station Model How to encode pressures

Encoding the Pressure Remove the decimal point Report the last 3 digits 135 Pressure = 135 encoded pressure Encode these pressures: Back to the Station Model Back to Decoding Pressures

The Barometric Trend + 19 / + means “Higher now than it was 3 hours ago” (- means “Lower now than it was 3 hours ago” ) 19 means the pressure has changed by 1.9 mb / means the pressure is currently rising ( \ means the pressure is currently falling ) Back to the Station Model What was the pressure 3 hours ago?Here?

NE at 25 Knots E at 5 Knots SE at 10 Knots

Temperature= 45F Dewpoint= 32F Wind NE at 20 knots Overcast Visibility= 1.5 miles Rain Showers Pressure Now= mb Pressure 3 hrs. ago= mb Barometer Falling Precipitation in last 6 hrs.=.53 in. Draw a Station Model for These Conditions: Back to the Station Model

Draw the following station model: Temperature: 94 °F Barometric Pressure: mb Visibility: 3 miles Cloud cover: 1/8 Barometric Pressure Change: +27 and rising Wind Direction: from the south Wind Speed: 25 knots Dew Point Temperature: 62 °F Precipitation during the last three hours 0.25 Current weather: clear and sunny

Interpret the following station model: 1.Temperature 2.Cloud cover 3.Dew point 4.Wind direction 5.Wind speed 6.Barometric pressure 7.Barometric trend 8. What was the barometric pressure three hours ago? 1
