prepares
you
to
launch
an
investigation
of
the
relationship
between
precipitation
and

for
a
local
watershed.
It
can
enrich
a
study
of
the
water
cycle.
Following
the
step-by-step
instructions
in
a
case
study
you
will
locate,
download,
format,
and
finally
graph
one

The
technique
can
be
used
for
any

of
time-series
images
that
are
spatially
registered
to
show
the
exact
