1. Go to http://www.wunderground.com and enter the city chosen in class.
2. Pick a day and look up the weather history.
3. Export the data as a .csv file
4. Import the data file in EXCEL or another spreadsheet program
5. Edit the data file: just save the temperature column.
5. Import the temperatures into MATLAB and store them in a array.
6. Compute the mean (average) and standard deviation of the temperatures.
7. Create an array of times (in decimal hours) to pair up with your temperatures.
8. Create a script file to plot temperature as a function of time in hours, and then run the
script.
Your plot should also include
• a title including city and date
• the standard deviation and mean displayed
• a solid horizontal line showing the mean temperature
• dashed horizontal lines showing mean+stdev and mean-stdev temperatures
• some big blobby shapes marking data points
• labels on the time and temperature axes
9. Export your graph as a PDF file.
10. E-mail [email protected] the graph PDF file and your script (M-file) that generated it.
