Assignment 1

1. The Maximum Daily Temperature for a particular day was recorded as 30 c

and the Minimum Daily Temperature as 15 c. Calculate the Diurnal Range
of Temperature for that day. 3 Marks

Diurnal range of temperature = Maximum Daily Temperature - Minimum Daily

Temperature

Maximum Daily Temperature = 30°c

Minimum Daily Temperature = 15°c
Diurnal range of temperature = 30°c - 15°c = 15°c

2. Using the same data given in No. 1, calculate the Mean Daily Temperature
for the day. 3 Marks

Mean Daily Temperature =

Maximum Daily Temperature + Minimum Daily Temperature ÷ Number of
temperature listings

Mean Daily Temperature = 30°c + 15°c = 45°c ÷ 2

= 22.5°c
3. Study the Mean Daily Temperatures (MDT) given below for the month of
February in a particular year. Calculate the Mean Monthly Temperature for
that month. Temperatures are given in degrees Celsius. 8 Marks

6 26 13 26 20 26 27 25
7 26 14 25 21 27 28 26

Mean Monthly Temperature = 26.5°c

28°c Number of MDT = 28
28.5°c Mean Monthly Temperature = 742°c ÷ 28 = 26.5°c

4. Study the data below, giving the Mean Monthly Temperatures for
Bridgetown, Barbados, during a certain year. Calculate the Mean Annual
Temperature for Bridgetown for that year. Temperatures are given in
degrees Celsius. 8 Marks

5. Using the same data given in No. 4, calculate the Annual Range of
Temperature for Bridgetown for that year. 3 Marks

Annual Range of Temperature = Maximum Monthly Temperature - Minimum

Monthly Temperature

Annual Range of Temperature = 27°c - 25°c

= 2°c
