Question 84 – Fieldwork skills - OCR A Geography Questions

Geography students have been conducting physical geography fieldwork at a coastal sand dune system. They were investigating how wind velocity varies at different heights above the ground surface. Some of their results are shown in the table below.

Table 1: Wind velocity measurements at a coastal sand dune system

Recording Station	Height above ground level	Anemometer reading 1	Anemometer reading 2	Anemometer reading 3
A	0.5m	3.2	3.5	3.1
B	1.0m	4.8	5.0	4.6
C	1.5m	6.1	6.4	6.2
D	2.0m	7.5	7.9	7.6

Suggest one problem with the recording of this data.
