Graphic Presentation of Weekly Mean Maximum and Mean Minimum Temperatures for 58 South Dakota Weather Stations for Each Week of the Year

Average temperatures are presented graphically by weeks in order to emphasize the changes in temperatures from north to south over the state. Since farming operations, to be efficient, must be planned to take into consideration probable local conditions of weather and length of the season this should be useful in helping the farmers plan their farming program as well as do scientists in developing farm crops best adapted to each locality of the state. The climatological year has been considered as from March 1 through February 28 or 29 of the following calendar year in order to present data for identical calendar days for each week for each year. As a result the first seven days of March are considered as week 1, Week 44 includes data for December 27 through January 2 of the following calendar year. Starting with week 45 the data are therefore presented to correspond approximately with the calendar year. On the following pages is a list of the stations for which data were used together with the number of years data were available for each station. Week numbers together with their calendar dates are also presented in order to more readily indicate the calendar dates covered by each weekly chart

Temperature Summary of Data for 60 South Dakota Weather Stations from the Start of Continuous Records for Each Station through 1954

Average weekly maximum and minimum data are presented for 60 weather stations in this report. The length of period varies from station to station depending on the date from which reasonably continuous data are available from each station. Data are presented in sixty tables arranged in alphabetical order. Column 3 of each table gives the length of period for which data were summarized for each station

Variation of Precipitation in South Dakota

What is the probability of various amounts of precipitation in South Dakota? The purpose of this pamphlet is to answer this question. The answer to this question will be of interest to farmers, agronomists, plant pathologists, engineers, irrigation specialists and livestock producers among others. For example, these data can be used to determine the best planting time for crops and the influence of precipitation on crop yields. Certain plant diseases and insects are affected by precipitation and plans for irrigation must consider the probabilities of precipitation if they are to be successful

Weekly Summary of Climatological Data, Faulkton, South Dakota, 1900-1953

Weekly averages of daily figures of climatological data for Faulkton, South Dakota are presented in this report. The climatological year starts with the first week of March each year so as to have the sane calendar dates represent the same week throughout the consecutive years

Weather in the Making

The objective of this pamphlet is to present some of the basic atmospheric phenomena that are related to weather. It is hoped that this will give research workers and others interested a general idea of how weather develops in the atmosphere and make possible a more realistic application of available weather data to agricultural research. Data and illustrations from The Pilot\u27s Weather Handbook and the 1955 Yearbook of Agriculture , as well as other government publications, are presented to provide an application of weather factors to agriculture and its problems

Yearly Dates of Last Spring and First Fall Occurrence of Minimum Temperature of 24° F or Lower for 58 Weather Bureau Stations of South Dakota

These spring and fall dates have been determined each year for 58 Weather Bureau stations of South Dakota for each of the three temperatures of 24°, 28° and 32° F. Since publication in a single mimeograph pamphlet would be bulky, three mimeograph reports have been prepared one for each of the three above temperatures showing last spring and first fall dates on which such temperature occurred as well as the number of days each year between these dates. Average of spring and fall dates as well as average number of days between these dates are shown at the end of each table. Average number of days between last spring and first fall dates of 24° F or lower for each station are shown on the following map of South Dakota

NASA Education Recommendation Report - Education Design Team 2011

NASA people are passionate about their work. NASA's missions are exciting to learners of all ages. And since its creation in 1958, NASA's people have been passionate about sharing their inspiring discoveries, research and exploration with students and educators. In May 2010, NASA administration chartered an Education Design Team composed of 12 members chosen from the Office of Education, NASA's Mission Directorates and Centers for their depth of knowledge and education expertise, and directed them to evaluate the Agency's program in the context of current trends in education. By improving NASA's educational offerings, he was confident that the Agency can play a leading role in inspiring student interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as few other organizations can. Through its unique workforce, facilities, research and innovations, NASA can expand its efforts to engage underserved and underrepresented communities in science and mathematics. Through the Agency's STEM education efforts and science and exploration missions, NASA can help the United States successfully compete, prosper and be secure in the 21st century global community. After several months of intense effort, including meeting with education experts; reviewing Administration policies, congressional direction and education research; and seeking input from those passionate about education at NASA, the Education Design Team made six recommendations to improve the impact of NASA's Education Program: (1) Focus the NASA Education Program to improve its impact on areas of greatest national need (2) Identify and strategically manage NASA Education partnerships (3) Participate in National and State STEM Education policy discussions (4) Establish a structure to allow the Office of Education, Centers and Mission Directorates to implement a strategically integrated portfolio (5) Expand the charter of the Education Coordinating Committee to enable deliberate Education Program design (6) Improve communication to inspire learner

Frequencies of Daily Occurrence of Maximum and Minimum Temperatures at Huron, South Dakota Each Week of the Year by Five Degree Intervals Together with Highest and Lowest Temperature Recorded and Standard Deviation of Temperatures Each Week of the Year

Frequencies of daily maximum and minimum temperatures are shown by five degree intervals for each week of the year for Huron, South Dakota. Covering the years 1881 through 1955. Weeks are numbered starting March 1 in order to have each week over the entire period represent the same calendar dates.

At the bottom of each page highest and lowest temperatures within each category together with the standard deviation of the daily temperatures are given

Yearly Dates of Last Spring and First Fall Occurrence of Minimum Temperature of 28° F or Lower for 58 Weather Bureau Stations of South Dakota

These spring and fall dates have been determined each year for 58 Weather Bureau stations of South Dakota for each of the three temperatures of 24°, 28° and 32° F. Since publication in a single mimeograph pamphlet would be bulky, three mimeograph reports have been prepared one for each of the three above temperatures showing last spring and first fall dates on which such temperature occurred as well as the number of days each year between these dates. Average of spring and fall dates as well as average number of days between these dates are shown at the end of each table. Average number of days between last spring and first fall dates of 28° F or lower for each station are shown on the following map of South Dakota
