For the following three problems (Q.05-07) consider the following data collection: You are measuring the bulk air temperature in a closed-loop benchtop wind tunnel. You take five readings of the temperature and determine the average temperature is 77°C with a standard deviation of 4°C. You report the following information: T = 77°C ± 1.8°C (68% confidence level) Q.05 You decide to improve the precision of your measurements, keeping the same confidence level. Being careful with your technique, you manage to keep constant the sample standard deviation. For each of the samples with N = 10, 15, 20 measurements, find: (a) The updated precision. (make sure you write out the complete measurement) (b) The percentage improvement in the precision (c) Is there a significant improvement in the precision with more measurements for each sample? Would you keep adding more measurements? Explain

Air of initial ML potential temperature 15°C comes to rest over a 25°C sea surface. Divergence is 10-7 s-1, and the initial ▲0/Az y = 3.5 K km-1. Find and plot the warm airmass evolution of potential temperature and depth. Use Excel spread sheet calculation with time step of 360 s, and show 4000 iterations, and the plot of iterative solution and submit this as part of your solution. Your plot of the iterative solution should have time in days on the x-axis, zi (m) on the left y axis and 0 (°C) on the left y axis. The plot should show only the 0ML (°C) and zi (m). Clearly indicate on the graph, the Osfc (°C) and the time T that the new warm airmass has maximum thickness Estimate the time T (you may create iterative solution using excel) that the new warm airmass has maximum thickness and compare this with the value obtained from the graph. Submit (EXCEL sheets) this with your answer.
