At a meteorological station in Maiduguri, Nigeria, the maximum shade air temperature recorded during a 24-hour period was 39.4∘C39.4^\circ\text{C}, while the minimum temperature recorded was 21.8∘C21.8^\circ\text{C}. What is the diurnal temperature range in degrees Celsius for that day?

Cevap: 17.6 °C

Cevap

The diurnal temperature range for the day is 17.6∘C17.6^\circ\text{C}.
The diurnal range of temperature is defined as the difference between the highest (maximum) and lowest (minimum) temperatures recorded within a 24-hour period. Subtracting the minimum temperature (21.8∘C21.8^\circ\text{C}) from the maximum temperature (39.4∘C39.4^\circ\text{C}) yields 17.6∘C17.6^\circ\text{C}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the recorded daily maximum and minimum temperatures.
Maximum temperature = 39.4∘C39.4^\circ\text{C}, Minimum temperature = 21.8∘C21.8^\circ\text{C}.
Diurnal temperature range requires the highest and lowest values recorded during a 24-hour cycle.
2
Apply the diurnal temperature range formula.
Diurnal Range = Maximum Temperature - Minimum Temperature
The diurnal range represents the arithmetic difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day.
3
Subtract the minimum temperature from the maximum temperature.
39.4∘C−21.8∘C=17.6∘C39.4^\circ\text{C} - 21.8^\circ\text{C} = 17.6^\circ\text{C}
Executing the subtraction gives the exact daily temperature variation.
