Cate Unfortunately, the group's communication and navigation equipment has dwindled to walkie-talkies and a compass due to a river- mishap, which means your group must not exceed the range of the walkie-talkies (3.0 miles). However, you do have a laser rangefir to help you measure distances as you navigate with the compass. After a few hours of hiking, you find the perfect plateau on which mount the sensor. You have carefully mapped your path from base camp around lakes and other obstacles: 530 m West (W), 285 r 710 m W, 940 m NE, 840 m W, and 370 m 30.0° W of S. The final leg is due south, 2.10 km up a constant slope and ending at a plate that is h = 310 m above the level of base camp. (a) How far are you from base camp? Will you be able to communicate with home base using the walkie-talkies? (b) What is the geographical direction from base camp to the sensor (expressed in the form 8° south of west, etc.)? (c) What is the angle of inclination from base camp to the detector?

The Weather Monitor. Your South American expedition splits into two groups: one that stays at home base, and yours that goes off to set up a sensor that will monitor precipitation, temperature, and sunlight through the upcoming winter. The sensor must link up to a central communications system at base camp that simultaneously uploads the data from numerous sensors to a satellite. In order to set up and calibrate the sensor, you will have to communicate with base camp to give them specific location information. Unfortunately, the group's communication and navigation equipment has dwindled to walkie-talkies and a compass due to a river-raft mishap, which means your group must not exceed the range of the walkie-talkies (3.0 miles). However, you do have a laser rangefinder to help you measure distances as you navigate with the compass. After a few hours of hiking, you find the perfect plateau on which to mount the sensor. You have carefully mapped your path from base camp around lakes and…

What is the value of the IR transmission factor (f) for a Venus-like planet, if the measured average surface temperature is 706 K? Assume the following values for the planet: E, = 2.60x10³ W m² and a = 0.71. Would the average temperature increase or decrease if f decreased?
A pixel on a NOAA-19 image has channel 4 brightness temperature of 285.5 K and a channel 5 brightness temperature of 285.0 K. If the satellite is 70 degrees above the horizon at the time that the measurement was taken during daylight, what is the sea surface (15) temperature in degrees Celsius of the pixel?
What is true about weather? The weather depends on so many conditions that it is not possible to account for them all in any model. Accuracy increases the farther you are from the day's weather you are predicting. The weather behaves randomly, which is why weather predictions are so often inaccurate. Weather can be predicted dependably by computational models.

You are on an oceanographic research expedition that began in San Juan, Puerto Rico on September 14. The ship left port at 0630 hr on 14 September and covered a distance of 1608 km to the first drill location (Site 1) where you are going retrieve a drill core of seafloor sediments. The ship arrived at the first drill site at 1800 hr on 16 September. Calculate the rate of travel (i.e., speed) of the ship during its transit to the first drill site.
