Report
The data presented here was collected from the observation station off of Grand Isle, LA. From this data, we have been able to see the changes in wind direction, wind speed, air and water temperature, and pressure. The observation of these graphs has leaded me to believe that we can see three possible frontal systems. By observing the pressure change graph, we see three drops in pressure. It is known that lower pressure correlates with storm cells or frontal systems. These three drops can lead one to assume that there were frontal systems in the area at these times. When correlating the data on the pressure graph to the air and water temperature graph, we see drops in temperature on the same days as the drops in pressure. This can lead us to further believe that these low-pressure events were in fact frontal systems. The frontal systems can also be observed on the wind speed graph. During these times of possible fronts, we see a less controlled area of wind speed. This lack
of consistency in wind speed along side these other anomalies that are present can lead to the assumption that there were in fact frontal systems in Grand Isle at the time. All of these assumptions and readings on the graphs also lead me to believe that we experienced cold fronts during this time.
