US Climate Lab

I’m studying for my Geography class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Lab Report – Directions

• Assignment (60 points)
  • Part I & II (10 points)
  • Formal Lab Report (50 points)
• Part I & II
  • Similar to our other labs
  • Gives you background for the formal lab report
• Climographs (10 points)
  • You can hand draw the climographs using graph paper
  • You can build the climographs with excel (see instructions below)
  • The precipitation graph should be a “column” graph
  • Temperature is a line graph
  • Temperature scale should be on the right and precipitation scale should be on the left
  • Scales need to be the same on all climographs so they can be compared
    • Temperature scale needs to go from 0-100 degrees F
    • Precipitation scale needs to go from 0-12 inches
  • Calculate the average annual temperature, annual temperature range and the annual precipitation
    • You must show your calculations for the first climograph
    • Then you can do the rest by excel (see directions below)
    • Average annual temperature = the average of the 12 monthly means
    • Annual temperature range is the highest monthly mean temperature – the lowest monthly mean temperature
    • Annual precipitation is the sum of the monthly precipitation
