<p>Tropical Storm Fay developed from an area of disturbed weather that included a broad, non-tropical low pressure system over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. During the first few days of September, a broad mid- to upper-level trough moved southward from the United States and became stationary across the northern Gulf of Mexico. Thunderstorms developed along a surface low pressure trough that hugged the northern Gulf of Mexico coastal areas. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/2002fay.shtml#TABLE2 </p><p>YOUR DATA In Cell A1, enter your name In Cell A2, enter your partner’s name In Cell A3, enter you school name In Cell A4, enter your team number</p><p>Your first data chart should indicate the date/time in the first column and correlating pressure in the second.</p><p>In a separate data chart, indicate the date/time in the first column and wind speed in the second.</p><p>Create three graphs of your data.</p><p>Each graph must be a line graph. The X & Y axis must be labeled. Individual data labels should NOT be included. The X axis should be the date and the Y axis should be the data that correlates to it.</p><p>Your third graph should determine if there is any discernable relationship between pressure and wind speed. Graph pressure as your independent variable and wind speed as the dependent.</p><p>CORRELATING QUESTIONS:</p><p>1. On September 7, at noon, in what stage was tropical storm Fay?</p><p>2.
