Regional Winds - 1S1P Report Writing Guidelines

You can earn up to 5 points for report content and up to 3 pts for writing quality.

Content
I will probably have to read these reports quickly.  As I read your report I will be trying to determine whether you have understood and learned about this topic.  You don't have to write about all the winds.  Valley and mountain breezes are common and relatively easy to understand.  They form pretty nearly everyday in some locations.  Which of these could cause clouds to form?  Why?  You might discuss katabatic and/or Chinook winds if you find the material interesting.  Everyone should probably discuss Santa Ana winds because they often play a big role in catastrophic California brush fires.  And dust storms are a concern here in southern Arizona.

Writing Quality
Explain the material in your own words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the material.  I will be looking for a clear, accurate, well organized report.  This is easier to do if you have a good understanding of the material.
