  • Years 3–4, and the Others in Years 5–6
    Unit 16 What’s in the news? ABOUT THE UNIT This is a ‘continuous’ unit, designed to be developed at various points through the key stage. It shows how news items at a widening range of scales can be used to develop geographical skills and ideas. The unit can be used flexibly when relevant news events occur. The teaching ideas could be selected and used outside designated geography curriculum time, eg during assembly, a short activity at the beginning or end of the day, or within a context for literacy and mathematics work. Alternatively the ideas could be integrated within other geography units where appropriate, eg weather reports could be linked to work on weather and distant localities, see Unit 7. The first three sections are designed to be used in years 3–4, and the others in years 5–6. The unit offers links to literacy, mathematics, speaking and listening and IT. Widening range of scales Undertake fieldwork Wider context Use globes, maps School locality and atlases UK locality Use secondary sources Overseas locality Identify places on Physical and human features maps A, B and C Similarities and differences Use ICT Changes Weather: seasons, world weather Environment: impact Other aspects of skills, places and themes may be covered depending on the content of the news item.

  • Eye-Tracking Evaluation of Weather Web Maps
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Eye-tracking Evaluation of Weather Web Maps Stanislav Popelka , Alena Vondrakova * and Petra Hujnakova Department of Geoinformatics, Faculty of Science, Palacký University Olomouc, 17. listopadu 50, 77146 Olomouc, Czech Republic; [email protected] (S.P.); [email protected] (P.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +420585634517 Received: 30 November 2018; Accepted: 28 May 2019; Published: 30 May 2019 Abstract: Weather is one of the things that interest almost everyone. Weather maps are therefore widely used and many users use them in everyday life. To identify the potential usability problems of weather web maps, the presented research was conducted. Five weather maps were selected for an eye-tracking experiment based on the results of an online questionnaire: DarkSky, In-Poˇcasí, Windy, YR.no, and Wundermap. The experiment was conducted with 34 respondents and consisted of introductory, dynamic, and static sections. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of recorded data was performed together with a think-aloud protocol. The main part of the paper describes the results of the eye-tracking experiment and the implemented research, which identify the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluated weather web maps and point out the differences between strategies in using maps by the respondents. The results include findings such as the following: users worked with web maps in the simplest form and they did not look for hidden functions in the menu or attempt to find any advanced functionality; if expandable control panels were available, the respondents only looked at them after they had examined other elements; map interactivity was not an obstacle unless it contained too much information or options to choose from; searching was quicker in static menus that respondents did not have to switch on or off; the graphic design significantly influenced respondents and their work with the web maps.

As a result, pressure differences between neighboring surface weather stations are dominated by their relative station elevations zstn (m) above sea level. However, horizontal pressure variations are im- cP portant for weather forecasting, because they drive H horizontal winds. To remove the dominating influ- ence of station elevation via the vertical pressure gradient, the reported station pressure Pstn is extrap- L olated to a constant altitude such as mean sea level (MSL).

  • Lecture 14. Extratropical Cyclones • in Mid-Latitudes, Much of Our Weather
    Lecture 14. Extratropical Cyclones • In mid-latitudes, much of our weather is associated with a particular kind of storm, the extratropical cyclone Cyclone: circulation around low pressure center Some midwesterners call tornadoes cyclones Tropical cyclone = hurricane • Extratropical cyclones derive their energy from horizontal temperature con- trasts. • They typically form on a boundary between a warm and a cold air mass associated with an upper tropospheric jet stream • Their circulations affect the entire troposphere over a region 1000 km or more across. • Extratropical cyclones tend to develop with a particular lifecycle . • The low pressure center moves roughly with the speed of the 500 mb wind above it. • An extratropical cyclone tends to focus the temperature contrasts into ‘fron- tal zones’ of particularly rapid horizontal temperature change. The Norwegian Cyclone Model In 1922, well before routine upper air observations began, Bjerknes and Sol- berg in Bergen, Norway, codified experience from analyzing surface weather maps over Europe into the Norwegian Cyclone Model, a conceptual picture of the evolution of an ET cyclone and associated frontal zones at ground They noted that the strongest temperature gradients usually occur at the warm edge of the frontal zone, which they called the front. They classified fronts into four types, each with its own symbol: Cold front - Cold air advancing into warm air Warm front - Warm air advancing into cold air Stationary front - Neither airmass advances Occluded front - Looks like a cold front

  • GEOLINGUISTICS AROUND the WORLD Chitsuko
    Dialectologia 1 (2008), 135-156. A REPORT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: GEOLINGUISTICS AROUND THE WORLD Chitsuko Fukushima & David Heap Niigata Women’s College (Japan) / University of Western Ontario (Canada) [email protected] / [email protected] The National Institute for Japanese Language held its 14th international conference, for the first time on dialects, on 22-23 August 2007 in Tokyo. The symposium was entitled “Geolinguistics around the World“ and focused on Current Trends in Geolinguistics around the World (Day 1) and Application Techniques of Linguistic Atlases (Day 2). The lecturers were Shinji Sanada (Osaka University, Japan), Hans Goebl (University of Salzburg, Austria), Takuichiro Onishi ( National Institute for Japanese Language, Japan), Lee Sang Gyu (National Institute of the Korean Language, Korea), Iwata Ray (Kanazawa University, Japan), Joachim Herrgen (University of Marburg, Germany), Heinrich Ramisch (University of Bamberg, Germany), and Maria-Pilar Perea (University of Barcelona, Spain). The commentators were Chitsuko Fukushima (Niigata Women’s College, Japan) and David Heap (University of Western Ontario, Canada). The National Institute of the Japanese Language (NIJL) must be warmly congratulated on the publication of the Grammar Atlas of Japanese Dialects (GAJ, 1991-2006): this is an important milestone not just in Japanese geolinguistics but also for the field of linguistic geography internationally. While the GAJ undoubtedly provides material for future linguistic studies for many decades to come, today it offers us the ideal occasion to reflect on common challenges and different approaches, both in the 135 Chitsuko Fukushima & David Heap techniques of linguistic cartography and in our theoretical reflections on the goals of geolinguistic research.

    Weather Forecasting GEOL 1350: Introduction To Meteorology 1 Overview • Weather Forecasting Tools • Weather Forecasting Methods • Weather Forecasting Using Surface Charts 2 Weather Forecasting Tools To help forecasters handle all the available charts and maps, high-speed data modeling systems using computers are employed by the National Weather Service. Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) has data communications, storage, processing, and display capabilities to better help the individual forecaster extract and assimilate information from available data. 3 Weather Forecasting Tools AWIPS computer work station provides various weather maps and overlays on different screens. AWIPS gathers data from Doppler radar system, satellite imagery, and the automated surface observing system that are operational at selected airports and other sites through out the United States. 4 Weather Forecasting Tools • Doppler radar detects severe weather size, movement, and intensity A forecaster can project the movement of the storm and warn those areas in the path of severe weather. Doppler radar data from Melbourne, Florida, on Mar 25, 1992, during the time of a severe hailstorm. The hail algorithm determined that there was 100% probability that the storm was producing hail. It also estimated that maximum size of the 5 hailstones to be greater than 3 inches. Weather Forecasting Tools • It is essential that the data can be easily accessible for the forecasters and in a format that allows several weather variables to be viewed at one time. • Meteogram is a chart that shows how one or more weather variables has changed at a station over a given period of time. Meteogram illustrates predicted weather • Meteogram may represent how elements at Buffalo from 1 pm Jan 18 to 7 pm air temperature, dew point, and Jan 20.
