UNIT-1 CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Elements of climate: a detailed study must be done on the various elements of climate given below. And students must assign to identify the methods of integration of such elements into their design development process to produce climate responsive architecture.
1. Thermometer for measuring air and sea surface temperature
2. Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure 3. Hygrometer for measuring humidity 4. Anemometer for measuring wind speed 5. Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation 6. Rain gauge for measuring liquid precipitation over a set period of time. 7. Wind sock for measuring general wind speed and wind direction 8. Wind vane, also called a weather vane or a weathercock: it shows which way the wind is blowing. 9. Disdrometer for measuring drop size distribution 10. Transmissometer for measuring visibility 11. Ceilometer for measuring cloud ceiling
Analysis of climatic data:
1. Statical & diagnostic method
2. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) 3. Rotated EOF 4. Regridding overview 5. Taylor diagram 6. Text (ascii) Files 7. Trend analysis 8. Web based visualization and processing for climate and weather
