Question 9. The BI values drop significantly from the afternoon of the 18th to the afternoon of the 19th
to the afternoon of the 20th. Was there any significant rainfall on either of these days? Why did
the BI values drop? |
|
Answer. The BI values drop significantly over the three days because of a front that enters the state. Although the front does not produce any precipitation at this time, the cooler temperatures behind the front increases the relative humidity. An increase in the relative humidity will lower the BI values. |
