Meteorology in simple terms is the study of the atmosphere. Forecasting is predicting what the weather is going to look like at certain areas using orbs, satellite and radar. The reason for forecasting the weather is form the general public wondering what the weather is going to be like, to military operations planning an attack and need a certain amount of rain to do it. Mr. Coffill went from topic to topic showing the students a satellite image of eastern part of Canada and the United States. Mr. Coffill then went on to show the students three type of radars: observation data, lightning data, and thunderstorms during the month of February. He went into a bit about the aviation code that the government uses, showing us two examples of the …show more content…
Coffill was extremely interested in his subject, so much he came from New Brunswick to present in our small high school physics class of less than twenty students. Meteorology is something most students do not take seriously as they rather learn about “real world issues” not considering what weather does is important. Mr. Coffill, hopefully, changed their views of what metrology actually is. Giving us the contours maps was very enlightening because at first look the student’s had no idea what to do, but after Mr. Coffill explained what to do, the students had an idea what to do, but it showed them that meteorology is a much more complicated scientific concept that deserves more …show more content…
Coffill taught the class. They are one hundred symbols that represent a type of weather system. The system is numbered into a chart staring at double zero going to ninety-nine. An example is four dots in a diamond shape means heavy rains continued, and two horizontal lines mean light fog. I found this interesting because meteorologist could say the weather for the day in a few symbols instead of a minute long explanation.
The third thing that Mr. Coffill said that caught my attention was the Tephigram Graph. The Tephigram Graph is what ninety percent of the time meteorologists take to graph the weather in a location. It is a graph where on the x-axis the farther left is colder, and right is warmer. There are three lines on the graph a solid line of the temperature, a different colour line showing the derivative of the temperature. Then a third line that is dotted is if you put a wet piece of paper towel on the measurement to get the “wet
Various symbols are used in "The Lesson," by Toni Cade Bambara, to represent the social and economic inequality faced by the children in this story. The children, not that they asked for it, are dealt the bad hand by fate. It is up to them to decide what to do about it or even to do anything at all.
Throughout the thriller-mystery story of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Utterson, the friendly lawyer, tries to figure out the reason behind why Dr. Jekyll, his friend and client, gives all his money to a strange man and murderer named Mr. Hyde in his will. Readers learn from the ominous third person point of view the worries of Mr. Utterson and ride along for his search of Mr. Hyde. In R. L. Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, he employs characterization, imagery, and motifs of weather to construct complex characters and create eerie settings, which parallel with the mood of the characters.
Symbols are found all within the film. The movie went through three different seasons. Summer is a symbol of life, and during this part of the movie the main characters didn’t have a care in the world and there were no consequences for any of their actions. For example, it’s the time that people are out having adventures that will lead to wonderful memories and at times trouble. The movie started out just like ...

Symbols usually consist of objects, characters, or figures expressing a larger concept or idea. In 1984, symbols found themselves in many main ideas and themes. Some symbols are used to represent a deeper meaning in characters and plot, while others show comparison and contrast between ideas. Several of these symbols are clearly shown throughout the book, catching the attention of the reader to further the understanding of the battling themes. Sometimes, words do not come close to describing what is going on.
...xpected weather conditions over time, previous weather conditions, possible areas of less deteriorating weather conditions, expected duration of bad weather condition.
For example, figures symbols, colors, numbers, and letters they also can represent, or symbolize something. For example, the flag of the United States has three different colors, and each color symbolizes something. The flag has fifty stars, each star represents a state, it also has thirteen lines red and whites they represent
ACHASS1008 Foundation to Year 6 HASS. Students explore daily and seasonal weather patterns (ACARA 2016, n.p.).
Climate, weather, and meteorology are 3 words that seem to be the same but in reality differ significantly. Two of these concepts pertain to the atmosphere but differ in what time and place they are studied in, and the last one is studying these concepts.
Jenna Pringnitz Neuberger Composition II March 5, 2024 Ted Bundy: The Lady Killer The name Ted Bundy evokes a cloud of darkness and intrigue, casting a long shadow over the broad terrain of criminal history, and portraying one of the most notorious figures in the domain of serial killers. Infamous for his calculated brutality and manipulative charm, Bundy's legacy is etched in the collective memory as a chilling reminder of human depravity and the depths to which one can sink. Crime investigators and the curious public have gone on a comprehensive journey into the intricate network of Ted Bundy's psyche, diving deep to unravel the complex web of factors that contributed to his descent into infamy. From his troubled upbringing stained with instability

Another symbol was the complicated model spacecraft’s launchpad. There were many pieces and poorly illustrated instructions. The narrator says, “Theo felt overwhelmed. The instructions were confusing, poorly written with multiple steps” (Kerley, 165). This is a symbol of all the secrets and mysteries that Theo didn’t know about.

The weather forecasters use probability and statistics just as much if not more than any other field on earth. As weather patterns are not fully understood and are dynamic, analysts have to rely heavily on past weather systems and patterns to “guess'; or estimate the possibility of present weather systems to behave in similar manners. If the probability of its behavior, subject to certain factors, in one manner over another is high forecasters make decisions as to how to advise the public.
During the first two years of my undergraduate studies, I have devoted to building a solid background in mathematics and physics. I constantly find pleasure in deriving mathematical formulas to experience in my mind the process of turning the physical mechanisms into something of such succinct beauty. And the School of Atmospheric Science at Nanjing University, the top school for this major in China has provided me with a rich environment to excel beyond the curriculum, debating and discussing questions with my professors. My curious and analytical attitude has made me a top student among my peers.
