ATM 005 - Homework 4 Due Wednesday, June 1st Directions: Answer all questions clearly and in your own words. All submitted responses must be typed...
Homework Question 4.1This question makes use of the supplementary file ATM005-SimplifiedClimateZones.pdf,which can be found in the Homework folder on SmartSite.Suppose cities A, B and C have the monthly temperature and precipitation values given below.Based on the simplified K¨oppen’s climate types from the supplementary slides, classifyeach city’s climate. Also, determine if each city is located in the northern hemisphere orsouthern hemisphere. Briefly explain how you obtained your answers.J F M A M J J A S O N DCity ATemperature (F) -10 -5 5 21 42 55 60 54 46 30 8 -8Precipitation (in) 1.2 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.8 1.6 1.7 2.3 1.4 1.2 0.8 0.6City BTemperature (F) -12 -12 -10 2 20 34 39 37 32 12 -2 -10Precipitation (in) 0.1 0.1 0.05 0.05 0.05 0.3 0.6 0.7 0.5 0.4 0.1 0.1City CTemperature (F) 80 78 76 75 75 74 71 73 74 79 80 81Precipitation (in) 8.4 10.2 9.6 13.3 10.7 5.7 6.3 5.5 10.4 7.6 9.0 10.0Temperature is in degrees Fahrenheit. Precipitation is in inches. J=January; F=Februaryetc.Homework Question 4.2The surface ocean temperature in the eastern equatorial Pacific is about 27.0◦C (300.15 K)during normal years. The surface ocean temperature in the eastern equatorial Pacific duringEl Ni˜no years can reach about 33.0◦C (306.15 K).a) What is the percent change in the maximum radiant energy emitted in the easternequatorial Pacific Ocean between the normal and El Ni˜no years? (Hint: Use StefanBoltzmanlaw from Discussion 1 with temperature in degrees Kelvin). You can calcu-1late percent change via the formulah% increasei =hEl Ni˜no radiant energyi − hNormal radiant energyihNormal radiant energyi× 100%. (1)b) Using everything you have learned about the climate system, explain how you anticipateglobal climate will be modified by increased Eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures.You may refer to the teleconnections map from Lecture 14.Homework Question 4.3[Research Question] Pick a location anywhere on the Earth that you might want to visit.Using the climate change slides from Lecture 13 and any external resources (for example,the IPCC fifth assessment report, http://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/), explain howthe climate will change in this location in the coming century (limit 500 words).Citation StylePlease use the following format for citations:Journal articles: Backsoon, I.
