       Contour Analysis plots due Week 3:
     Copies of the handout: Temperature
     Remember - Contour pressure in increments of 4 hPa, and temperature in increments of 10 degrees F
                       - Also remember that if the pressure begins with a 6, 7, 8, or 9, this indicates that the actual pressure begins with a "9." For instance, a pressure reading of "896" is 989.6 hPa.
                       - If the pressure begins with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, this indicates that the actual pressure begins with a "10." For instance, a pressure reading of "142" is actually 1014.2 hPa.
