1. My Country’s (China's) Capital City is Beijing and I will be forecasting the weather for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of November 2014. The forecasted high for 3 November 2014 is 62 F and the forecasted low
is 36 F, the forecasted high for 4 November is 60 F and the forecasted low
is 38 F, and the forecasted high for 5 November is 63 F and the forecasted low
is 37 F. During that period the forecasted precipitation percent is 0%. Additionally during those three days the average pressure is forecasted at 30.09 inches Hg. Initially falling to low pressure by Tuesday afternoon and then increasing thru Wednesday night .The average wind speed over
the three day period is forecasted to be about 6 mph remaining relatively constant over the three day period.

2. The image below comes from www.wunderground.com. As it is hard to locate Beijing until you look closely let me help find it more quickly. Find the word Continent on the left side of the image and follow that to the right. Immediately above the number 69 is Beijing. Also note that the website doesn't have radar for this image.
Currently Beijing specifically and China as a whole is almost entirely covered with warm low clouds except in northwestern China where the clouds are high and cold as depicted by the blue color. Unfortunately the radar for this image wasn't working so we can't see the precipitation however we do see a tropical storm brewing in the Southeast. This storm is just east of Taiwan and northeast of the Philippines. The area surrounding Beijing is heavily vegetated and includes hundreds of lakes, rivers and streams and other smaller bodies of fresh water. Mountains border Beijing to the northeast and sweep around it to the northwest and to west. The mountainous region has the majority of its large forests. Beijing itself is mostly an urban area but has hundreds of green spaces mostly including parks as well as many small lakes and rivers.
This first map is predominantly of geographical South Asia, China is almost fully represented with only the extreme north and souther portions missing. The isobars in China range from Lows at 1012 mb in the northeast to highs at 1024mb both in the Tibetan Plateau and southeast China. Cold fronts are approaching China from the West and North while warm fronts approach from the southeast and east. Cold fronts from China are also heading into the east while warm fronts heading into the north from China.
This larger map includes all of Asia here you can see the areas of high pressure mainly sweep from the northwest clockwise to the east with some highest pressure in Central China with isobar at 1024 mb. Low pressure systems are spread around but predominate to the far northwest and to the west. The lowest pressure is 988 mb located in the Arctic Ocean north of Russia. Additional fronts for this area show an occluded front in Russia. We also see the tropical storm or typhoon approaching southeast Asia in the lower portion of the map.
You need to include
two maps. One that is zoomed in closer
and one that gives you a wider look. Save the images or “Print Screen” to
include them in your blog.
Under each map
discuss what you see. What isobar
pressures are observed? Are there any H
pressures? Are there any L pressures? On the regional and larger maps? Are
there any fronts? If so, what type are they and where are they located (north,
south, east, or west of your country). You need to write 4-5 sentences for each
map.

China has a much larger temperature difference than Canada will be experiencing with similar low temperatures but much warmer highs with less wind than I have. The landscape around Beijing seems to be similar to that of Ottawa with many parks and bodies of water surrounding. Canada has many lakes and rivers to the north of Ottawa. You guys are experiencing more high pressure and cold fronts than I am since I mainly have stationary fronts with varying high and low pressure. I find it interesting that we both have occluded fronts developing in te northeastern regions of our weather maps.
ReplyDeleteThe temperature difference between China and Madagascar right now is significant but the wind speeds and pressure is similar. There are MUCH more clouds in your first image than what I had found were in Madagascar but the few I did have were low and warm also. The winds are also blowing opposite direction in our countries. You have a larger range in isobars in your images because China is much larger than Madagascar so that makes sense to me. Im jealous that your map had cool thinks like hurricanes and occluded fronts happening. There wasn't anything all that exciting happening in Madagascar at the time.
