Your vessel is participating in the Voluntary Observing Ship Program, you are preparing WS Form B-80 as seen in illustration D041NG below. The dry bulb thermometer reads 30°F (-1°C) and the wet bulb thermometer reads 28°F (-2°C). How would you encode the air temperature groups in the report?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 11011, 2104/.
To encode the air temperature groups in the WS Form B-80 report, you need to use the dry bulb and wet bulb temperature readings. The dry bulb temperature of 30°F (-1°C) would be encoded as 11011, and the wet bulb temperature of 28°F (-2°C) would be encoded as 2104. Therefore, the complete air temperature groups would be 11011, 2104/.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 11300, 2124/ does not correctly encode the wet bulb temperature.
B) 10011, 2003/ does not correctly encode the dry bulb temperature.
D) 11011, 2124/ does not correctly encode the wet bulb temperature.
