Question

Explain in your own words how weather conditions/ sun angle are directly related to traffic
backups and accident frequency. Provide an example to help explain your point.
2. What is the Eastern Standard Time equivalent for 21 UTC?

3.Go to this website. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/synop/products/bullform.mav.htm Choose
any State except Georgia. Choose any station in the state. Scroll to the bottom and hit submit
query. Decode the model expected conditions for temperature, dew point, cloud cover, wind
direction, wind speed and Percent chance of precipitation for 21 UTC. In addition to recording
the decoded weather conditions, record the station abbreviation (four capital letters, top left
hand corner) the name of the station and time/date you completed activity.

Explanation / Answer

Weather conditions/ Sun angle are directly related to trafic and accident frequency because due to sun angle directly towards the wind shield makes the driver uncomfortable to drive the vehicle,it may causes accident. Weather condition like wind speed, Precipitation,fog, temperature etc. are the most causes of accident.for eg. Due to high wind speed reduce the visibility distance makes traffic and also based on stability of the vehicle accident occurs,

2. Eastern standard time equivalent for 21UTC is 4pm(EST).

3. Station name-KBAF , The temperature(TMP),dew point(DPT),Cloud Cover(CLD),wind direction(WDR),wind speed(WSP) are all valid for 3 hours only and then it changes according to the forecast value.The forecast of all the factors are depends upon the global forecast system(GFS).GFS is a numerical weather prediction model it generates the data four times a day and produce forecast upto 16 days in advance but it is decreased to generate the forecast value after 10 days because of decrease in spatial resolution.it provides a temporal data for our monitoring and helps in predicting the factors.For oct 6 21utc having tmp-72,dpt-52,cld-ov(totally obscured),wdr-30 having the precipitation possibilities.
