This
lesson
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
correlate
cloud
cover
over
Africa
to
the
solar
declination.
The
student
will
access
NASA
data
using
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
and
import
the
data
into
Excel
spreadsheet
software.
The
student
will
identify
the
relationship
between
solar
declination
and
the
four
seasons
and
relate
seasonal
solar
radiation
patterns

Corals
feed
on
algae
that
thrive
in
the
sunlit
water
surrounding
a
reef.
However,
when
water
temperatures
get
too
warm,
the
algae
food
source
dies
and
corals
turn
a
whitish
color.
Through
scientific
observation,
it
has
been
determined
that
coral
bleaching
may
occur
when
sea
surface
temperature
(SST)
exceeds
30C
or
86F
for
a
week
or
longer.
During
late
2005,
