Using hand-held Kestrel weather stations, students in a prior semester took 10 measurements over a 10-minute period of temperature, relative humidity, wet bulb temperature, and dew point temperature for a grassy surface on campus, and recorded these observations in Table 1. Calculate the average values and include them in the table. Calculate the range (high minus low) for each variable (temperature, RH, wet bulb temp., and DPT)?
Why do you think there was so much variability over a short time period? Provide an answer in the form of a complete sentence
