3:41 PM
Detailed Weather:
Wind -
- More wind than I have ever seen in my ecosystem! There was a heavier breeze, though nowhere near the storm yesterday.
- Beaufort Scale: 5
- North: I confirmed this by bringing a compass and measuring
Clouds -
- There were large puffy white clouds covering the majority of the sky.
- They were very light grey to white, and puffy like cotton balls.
- cumulus clouds.
Temperature -
- Air: 36° Fahrenheit
- Fahrenheit to Celsius:
C = (36 - 32) x 5/9
C = 4 x 5/9
C = 4/1 x 5/9
C = 20/9
C = 2.22222222222222222222222
- 2.2222222222° Celsius
- Water: The storm yesterday brought my water back! Woho!
- Water Temperature: 25° Fahrenheit
- C = (25 - 32) x 5/9
- C = -7 x 5/9
- C = -7/1 x 5/9
- C = -35/9
- C = -3.88888888888888
Water Temperature = -3.88888° Celsius
General Observations:
Measurements -
- Bur oak tree branch - 64.75 inches
- inches to centimeters conversion -
2.54n = c
2.54(64.75) = c
c = 164.465
- bur oak tree branch = 164.465 cm
- water depth: 9 inches
- inches to centimeters conversion
2.54n = c
2.54(9) = c
22.86 = c
- water temperature = 22.86 centimeters: Not bad!
Biota -
- 2 bur oak trees
- common green foxtail
- crabgrass
- common virtuoso katydid
Differences from previous months -
- Seasonal changes:
- Because of the huge storm yesterday, I finally have water! This will make my ecosystem visits far more interesting
- It is getting MUCH colder!
- I am required to visit earlier now because it gets dark so much earlier
- my bur oak tree "measuring branch" has grown since last month by a total of 8.255 centimeters. I wonder if the tree will continue to grow in the winter or stop?
- It seemed completely abandoned now. Very little vegetation, and no animals. Hardly any insects as well.
