I. Basics of Observing

Observation Sequencing Exercise

Observation Sequencing Exercise

Based on the recommendation of AG2 Ferguson in the video earlier, order the weather observations steps below by selecting a step and dragging it to the correct position.

  1.     measure temperature and wind
  2.     determine sky condition
  3.     determine sea condition

The sequence suggested in the video is:

  1. determine sea condition
  2. measure temperature and wind
  3. determine sky condition

This is one possible way to take observations and provides a practical way of sequencing your observations efficiently. As you start your weather observation duties, you may find that the sequence that works best for you will depend on the platform.
