Suppose yesterday morning you noticed ice crystals (frost) on the grass, yet the minimum temperature reported in the newspaper was only

$35^{O} F$ . The most likely reason for this apparent discrepancy is that:

0%
Temperature readings are taken in instrument shelters more than 5 feet above the ground
0%
The thermometer was in error
0%
The newspaper reported the wrong temperature
0%
The thermometer was read before the minimum temperature was reached for that day

Explanation

$\textbf{Correct option:}$

$\textbf{(A)}$

$\textbf{Solution:}$

$\bullet$ The ability of the air to contain water as a vapour, which is temperature dependant, causes the production of ice crystals near the ground surface.

$\bullet$ If water vapour is cooled under constant pressure, the dew point temperature is the factor that causes it to condense and transform into dew, fog, or clouds.

$\bullet$ Temperature measurements should be taken in a concrete slab-mounted instrument shelter.

$\bullet$ The thermograph, maximum and minimum thermometers, soil temperature sensor, dry and wet bulb thermometers, and an aspirating motor are all contained within the weather shelter.

$\textbf{Thus the Correct option is (A)}$
