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.
