Answer 1

To calculate the future temperature values (Tv and Ta) for each location based on the given temperature changes, we’ll use the original temperature values (Tv and Ta) and apply the specified changes for each season.

Here’s a breakdown of how to calculate the future Tv and Ta based on the seasonal changes and the annual increase:

1. For Tv (average temperature):

   • Uaupés: Current \( Tv = 26°C \), future change +3.0°C
     • Future Tv = 26 + 3.0 = 29.0°C
   • Chengdu: Current \( Tv = 26°C \), future change +3.6°C
     • Future Tv = 26 + 3.6 = 29.6°C
   • New York: Current \( Tv = 25°C \), future change +3.8°C
     • Future Tv = 25 + 3.8 = 28.8°C
   • Semey: Current \( Tv = 22°C \), future change +3.6°C
     • Future Tv = 22 + 3.6 = 25.6°C
   • Verkhoyansk: Current \( Tv = 16°C \), future change +6.9°C
     • Future Tv = 16 + 6.9 = 22.9°C

2. For Ta (average temperature for a specific time of year):

   • Uaupés: Current \( Ta = 2°C \), future change +3.0°C
     • Future Ta = 2 + 3.0 = 5.0°C
   • Chengdu: Current \( Ta = 20°C \), future change +3.3°C
     • Future Ta = 20 + 3.3 = 23.3°C
   • New York: Current \( Ta = 26°C \), future change +3.5°C
     • Future Ta = 26 + 3.5 = 29.5°C
   • Semey: Current \( Ta = 39°C \), future change +3.1°C
     • Future Ta = 39 + 3.1 = 42.1°C
   • Verkhoyansk: Current \( Ta = 63°C \), future change +4.4°C
     • Future Ta = 63 + 4.4 = 67.4°C

Summary of Future Changes for Tv and Ta

| Location | Future Tv (°C) | Future Ta (°C) | |------------------|----------------|----------------| | Uaupés | 29.0 | 5.0 | | Chengdu | 29.6 | 23.3 | | New York | 28.8 | 29.5 | | Semey | 25.6 | 42.1 | | Verkhoyansk | 22.9 | 67.4 |

These values represent the estimated future temperatures based on the given increments for the respective locations.
