Hello everyone, I am sorry to see that you are unclear as to how the report should be writen. I hope this can help. This report of information should include an introduction that explains why we use weather maps. In the introduction you should also state the various factors that affect weather in an area such as temperature, pressure....
I also suggest including a definition for weather. The body should have an explanation of the three things you worked on during the lab on Friday (Isotherms, Isobars, and Wind patterns). Throughout the body you should explain how to draw isotherms and isobars as well as explaining the general trend of wind movement in a low pressure area compared to a high pressure area in the northern hemisphere.
You should conclude the report by restating the various factors affecting weather as well as stressing the importance of our ability of predicting extreme weather conditions before they occur.Also add some pictures of weather maps. I hope this is helpful.
You can also hand them in on Wednesday instead.

You should relate changes of weather in a city to the type of pressure it is facing as well as the type of front it is expecting.
Also, for the clockwise and counterclockwise winds check you book.

Bonnie
Just explain how to plot isotherms the way you did the lab on Friday.

Kristina
Precipitation is associated with low pressure. You found through your lab that low pressure was on the eastern part of the country!!!

Good Luck
Mr. Fayad

Sorry for the delay.

Roalt, the closer the isolines the worse the weather is.

Audris, I edited your report and it is sitting on my desk. You can get it on Monday. You can hand it in on Tuesday.

Shi-Hui I read your report and it is well done.
Have a nice weekend everyone.
