The research is mainly about using data and observations on the website of the Central Weather Bureau Kaohsiung Weather Station to focus on the weather elements such as daily temperatures,and sunshine duration in Kaohsiung on January and July, 2017. Setting Kaohsiung Girl’ s High School (kghs) as the main observational spot, analyze and explore the change of data of daily temperatures, sunshine duration, and so on to find the relation, cause and effect between the change of data of elements. The main conclusions: 1. We think that the main factors of chage of temperature in winter is mainly about the occasional monsoons, and cold air mass.The main factors of chage of temperature in summer is mainly about typhoons, and other factors; as a result, the temperatures going up and down less dramatic than in winter. 2. On account of influencing more by weather elements as typhoons, sunshine duration can not affect temperature evidently.

This is an interesting study that shows the impact of certain factors on temperature. I noticed a lot of effort guys in your research. The poster is well made. Congratulations!
My question : How did you aggregate the data you got from the ground weather stations in Kaohsiung as well as the observations on Kaohsiung Weather Station website
We chosed the categories we need from the observation of Kaohsiung Weather Station,and made the charts by Excel in this report.Then,we analyzed the observations including temperatures,monson,and the date influenced by typhoon ,etc. from NARLabs(Taiwan Typhoon and Flood Research Institute).
Thank you for your question.
