1. Counter Value (Revolutions/Counts): Represents the raw counts recorded by


the anemometer over a short interval (e.g., 10 seconds). Each count corresponds
to a specific number of revolutions of the anemometer's cups or blades.
2. Timestamp: Time at which the count was recorded.
3. Comments: Notes on changes in the counter values, such as gusts or stabilization.

Conversion to Wind Speed:

To convert the counter values into wind speed (m/s), you would typically apply a
calibration factor specific to the anemometer model. The conversion equation is often
something like:

Wind Speed (m/s)=Counter Value×Calibration Factor\text{Wind Speed (m/s)} = \


text{Counter Value} \times \text{Calibration
Factor}Wind Speed (m/s)=Counter Value×Calibration Factor

For example, if each count represents 0.1 m/s, you would multiply the counter values by
0.1 to obtain the wind speed.

Would you like to proceed with an example of calculating wind speed from these raw
counter values?

Key Variables:

1. Water Level (mm): This is the raw height of the water in the evaporation pan,
which decreases as water evaporates.
2. Temperature (°C): A higher temperature generally increases evaporation rates.
3. Wind Speed (m/s): Wind increases evaporation by moving air over the water's
surface.
4. Humidity (%): Lower humidity promotes more evaporation since drier air
absorbs more water vapor.
5. Solar Radiation (W/m²): Solar radiation drives evaporation by heating the water.
How Evaporation is Calculated:

To compute the evaporation rate, we would subtract the water level at the start from the
water level at the end of a given time period. For example, between 08:00 and 12:00 on
2024-09-05:

Evaporation (mm)=200 mm−196 mm=4 mm\text{Evaporation (mm)} = 200 \, \text{mm}


- 196 \, \text{mm} = 4 \, \text{mm}Evaporation (mm)=200mm−196mm=4mm
Constant Head Permeability Test

This test is typically used for granular soils like sands and gravels. The constant head test
assumes a steady flow through a soil sample, with a fixed hydraulic gradient.

Falling Head Permeability Test

This test is suitable for fine-grained soils like silts and clays. In this test, the water level
falls over time, and the rate of decline is measured to calculate permeability.

Given Parameters:

 Initial head, h0=100 cmh_0 = 100 \, \text{cm}h0=100cm


 Final head, ht=30 cmh_t = 30 \, \text{cm}ht=30cm

 Sample cross-sectional area, A=50 cm2A = 50 \, \text{cm}^2A=50cm2
 Standpipe cross-sectional area, a=2 cm2a = 2 \, \text{cm}^2a=2cm2

Electro Resistivity Method

Data Structure:

 Depth (m): Measurement depth where the electrodes are placed.

 Apparent Resistivity (Ωm): Calculated from the potential difference and current

applied, this value gives an estimate of the subsurface material's resistivity.

 Layer Type: Soil, rock, or aquifer indication (based on resistivity range).
