A. INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using Excel tabulate your data. Start with the low then high data. See partial example below.
2. Create the following graphs:
Graph 1. Air Pressure and Wind Speed
Graph 2. Temperature and Humidity
Graph 3. Air Pressure and Temperature
Graph 4. Temperature, Air Pressure, Humidity and Wind Speed

3. To create the graph highlight the data required and click insert charts specifically insert combo
chart.
4. Do not forget to put the title, legends and units on the graph. A rough example is shown below.
5. Study the charts you have created and answer the questions designated for each chart.

B. DATA and GUIDE QUESTIONS

Graph 1. Air Pressure and Wind Speed

*Insert graph here*

1. Describe the relationship between the measurement of air pressure and wind speed during the
7-day period (1 week).

2. Briefly describe the weather associated with the passage of a typhoon when the center of low-
pressure area is between 992-998 mb.

3. Explain the mechanics behind the steep pressure gradient and an increase in wind speed.

Graph 2. Temperature and Humidity

*Insert graph here*

4. Describe the mechanics of temperature and humidity with the associated cloud or sky cover
and weather for the duration of 7 days.

5. If the water vapor in air remains unchanged, how does an increase in temperature affect
relative humidity?

6. On a warm sunny day, when the relative humidity is high, it may seem warmer than the
thermometer indicates. Why do you feel uncomfortable on this day?

Graph 3. Air Pressure and Temperature

*Insert graph here*

7. Looking at your graph, what is the relationship between air pressure and temperature? Explain
the reason behind the relationship.

Graph 4. Temperature, Air Pressure, Humidity and Wind Speed

*Insert graph here*

8. From your observation, deduce the conditions for a typhoon to occur.

9. What is likely the general direction of the typhoon?
