Thermometer Calibrations
The calibration of the thermometers was important to understand possible sources of error from our experiments. The digital thermometer was used as the comparison point for it was the most efficient one.
The 24-Hour Profile
The 24-hour profile consisted of the measurements of temperature, air pressure, wind speed and humidity for 24-hours. The measurements started at 9:30pm on our first experimentation day (Thursday) and ended at 9:30pm the next day.
