Document Summary
A correction factor to a temperature reading caused by the presence of wind making the air feel cooler than the temperature suggests. A correction factor to a temperature reading caused by high levels of humidity making the air feel warmer than the temperature suggests. Degree days are quantitative measures indicating the demand for energy needed to heat or cool a home. A value found by subtracting the mean daily temperature from 18 c. Tells us how much temperature/energy we had to use to heat ourselves. A value found by subtracting 18 c from the mean daily temperature. How much energy we had to use to cool ourselves on hot days. A value used in agriculture to determine when to harvest a crop. Found by subtracting the base temperature required for growth of a crop, from the mean daily temperature. The process of a parcel of air following over a mountain can be summarized in 5 steps:
