    Design and implementation of an electronic system for simulation of seasonal vapour pressure variations.
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2000) Mdoe, Simon Leonard Clement
    First principles derivation by Njau [1), show that it is possible to simulate or predict some key weather/climate parameters basing on an analytical method linking air temperature with each of those parameters. In this thesis, I present systematically a detailed description and design of an electronic system capable of simulating variations of atmospheric vapour pressure basing on analytical expressions in the method mentioned above as well as some signal processing. Plots of vapour pressure measurements made in Dar es Salaam, and plots based on the derived analytical expression mentioned above were come with corresponding plots generated electronically. It was found that the plots generated by the designed electronic system agree reasonably well with the plots based on analytically simulated and measured data. In this thesis it is concluded that the electronic system mentioned above can be used to simulate vapour pressure variations to some reasonable accuracy.
