What We Learned With Metlink...
Participated with over 100 schools around the world.
Made daily weather observations and entered them on the website.
We measured rainfall, temperature, dew point, humidity, cloud identification, wind speed and direction,
Website told us what the hottest, coldest, wettest, and windiest locations for that date were.
During January and February we were often one of the coldest schools.
We learned how to find a school's locations on earth based on latitude and longitude
Some of the cloud types we learned were:
Stratus |
Cumulus |
Nimbus |
Cirrus |
We looked at temperatures from the late-January and early-March from all over the world. We organized the temperatures based on latitude ranges and mean temperatures. Our purpose was to see where the hottest and coldest latitudes were for those periods. We made two colored images to show our findings. They are shown below:
