Numerical weather prediction (NWP) uses mathematical models of the atmosphere and oceans to predict the weather based on current weather conditions. Though first attempted in the 1920s, it was not until the advent of computer simulation in the 1950s that numerical weather predictions produced realistic results. A number of global and regional forecast models are run in different countries worldwide, using current weather observations relayed from radiosondes, weather satellites and other observing systems as inputs.
Answer:
a) 0.487
b) refrigeration load = 5.46w
c) cop = 2.24
d)ref load max = 12.43kw
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Location of enemy ground troops - EARTH OBSERVING.
Using earth observing satellite imagery, the military can observe vast expanses of land and in so doing, find the location of enemy ground troops.
2. Routine reconnaissance of an unfamiliar climate - WEATHER
In other to find out more about the climate of an area, a weather satellite can be used to observe the areas and its changing weather patterns.
3. Analyze waterways in an unfamiliar location - NAVIGATION
Using navigation satellites, navigation conduits such as roads and waterways can be observed.
4. Provide warning of an attack - COMMUNICATION.
Communications satellites enable people to communicate over great distances and so can be used by the military to warn of an impending attack.
Answer:
- Moisture/ water content w = 26%
Explanation:
- Initial mass of saturated soil w1 = mass of soil - weight of container
= 113.27 g - 49.31 g = 63.96 g
- Final mass of soil after oven w2 = mass of soil - weight of container
= 100.06 g - 49.31 g = 50.75
Moisture /water content, w = 
= 
= 0.26 = 26%
Void ratio = water content X specific gravity of solid
= 0.26 X 2.80 =0.728
