2)  CONTENT (24 points):  Write a 2 – 3 page essay in which you describe the clothing you will need over a the course of the day in each city on December 21 and on June 21.  Assume you leave the house to go to work at 7 a.m., spend much of your time outdoors, and return home at the end of the work day.  You go back out in the evening to have some fun.  What will be your clothing needs, and why?

You should include incorporate and explain the following information as part of your paper.  You will need to consult Labs 1, 2, 3, and 4, your textbook, as well as the “Weather and Climate Data” document:
a)    What is the Latitude and Longitude for each location?  How does latitude impact insolation for each location?
b)    How do the hours of day/night compare in February and August and between the two cities?
c)    How does the albedo between the two cities compare?  (think about snow, desert, trees in summer, concrete, etc.).  You may wish to look at Google Earth to see what the landscape surrounding your city looks like in the winter and the summer.
d)    What can you anticipate in terms of temperature and precipitation in your cities for those days?
e)    What is the elevation for each city?
f)    How do the land-water relationships for each location compare? (are the cities closer to or further from a large body of water?).  How and why does this affect the temperature?
g)    How are your clothing needs affected by all of the above? BE SPECIFIC! (think sun glasses, type of hat, etc.)
