Marks: +1, -0

For the hottest month of the year at the proposed airport site, the monthly mean of the average daily temperature is

39^{∘} {C}

. The monthly mean of the maximum daily temperature is

48^{∘} {C}

for the same month of the year. From the given information, the calculated Airport Reference Temperature (in

{ }^{∘} {C})

, is

Solution:

Airport reference temperature is given by following expression.

{ART}=[ {T}_{ {a}}+\;{ {T}_{ {m}}+ {T}_{ {a}}}/{3}]

where,

T_{a}=

average daily temperature

{T_m}=

maximum daily temperature

∴ {ART}=[39+\;{48-39}/{3}]

∴ {ART}=42^{∘} {C}
