Chart (5th six weeks)

In chart 2, the November data in our project, there are many things happening.   The AOT (Aerosol Optical Thickness) is going down.  This means that the amount of aerosols in the air is decreasing. This allows more sunlight to come through the atmosphere.  That is why the Percent Transmission is going up very quickly. As the dates get closer and closer to December, the temperatures of the Practice Football Field and the Student Parking Lot get lower. This is happening because when more sunlight is entering into the Earth’s atmosphere more water is evaporating. This makes the AOT go up slightly, so there are more clouds to insulate our area. This makes the temperatures go down.
