Internet Problem 3 Geography, Weather, and ClimatePart 1 of this Internet Problem is designed to investigate the impact of geography on weather and climate by comparing the weather and climate of Trinidad, Colorado and San Francisco, California.Part 2 involves looking at Geodetic Earth Orbiting Satellite (GEOS) weather satellite data for the region in which you live.Part 1:A) Go to the NOAA Earth System Research Lab Climate webpage:https://psl.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/data/usclimate/state….Look at the climate page for Colorado and select Trinidad, Colorado. a) What is the latitude of Trinidad?b) What is the elevation of Trinidad (“the mile-high cityâ€)?Review the annual climate data for Trinidad and answer the questions below:c) What is the range in annual temperatures (include temperature highs and lows)? d) What type of precipitation dominates (rain or snow)?B) Now look at the climate data for California and choose San Francisco, California http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/data/usclimate/sta…a) What is the latitude of San Francisco?b) What is the elevation of San Francisco?Review the annual climate data for San Francisco and answer the questions below:c) What is the range in annual temperatures (include the highest temperature and lowest temperature)?d) What type of precipitation dominates (rain or snow)?C) Compare the annual climate dates from San Francisco and Trinidad and refer to chapter 4 in the textbook: a) Are the temperature ranges for both cities similar?b) Do both cities share a similar pattern of precipitation?c) Both cities are at approximately the same latitude, and although the elevations of the cities differ what might be another explanation for the difference between the climate in San Francisco and Denver ?d) Explain your reasoning:Part 2: GEOS Weather Satellite DataThe data at this page is from the GEOS). GEOS is a series OF geostationary weather satellites operated by NOAA. The GOES Program maintains two geostationary satellites operating in conjunction to provide observational coverage of 60% of the Earth.http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/us_comp/During the day, look at the latest water vapor visible image for North America. If you can, zoom into the area where you live.a) Where do you live(generally)? b) What is the date?c) How does the pattern of water vapor shown in the image reflect the weather that you are experiencing today (outside your window)(If you do not live in the Bay Area – go to https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/satellite.php and scroll down to select the water vapor image, loop or animation for where you are.)UTC time = current local time
