Approximation of the Dew Point Temperature Using a Cost Effective Weather Monitoring System
Journal Title: Physical Science International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 3
Abstract
In this era of global warming, research in weather measurement and prognostications are becoming more and more pertinent; getting the latest weather information and taking the necessary precautions have become a major issue all over the world. Dew point temperature is an important weather parameter that is used in estimating rain, snow, dew, evapotranspiration, near-surface humidity, other meteorological parameters and applications. This research is aimed at approximating the dew point temperature (using a self designed cost effective weather monitoring system) from the measured temperature and relative humidity. The results from this research show that the temperature and relative humidity have a significant influence on the dew point temperature and it was in good conformity with data obtained from other sources. Thus, this study would help in mitigating climate-induced environmental disasters and also improve agricultural productivity.

Electroconductivity of Steady Viscous MHD Incompressible Fluid between Two Porous Parallel Plates Provoked by Chemical Reaction and Radiation
The effect of electroconductivity on MHD fluid flow through an even pore spaces on two parallel plates was carried out. Solution to the governing equations and analysis of the resulting parameters showed that an increase...
The Coherent States Involving Lucas Numbers
In this paper we consider the coherent states which play an important role in quantum optics, especially in laser physics and much work in this field. Here we connect the coherent states with the Lucas numbers and Fibona...
Structure Equations, Permitted Movement of Relativistic Continuum and Sagnac’s, Erenfest’s and Bell’s Paradoxes
From obtained structure equations, restrictions on a space-time geometry for possible solutions of relativistic continua are studied. The Minkowski space proved to be “cramped” to describe the continuum if except for the...
