Millennium
Observatory
(NeMO)
is
a
seafloor
observatory
off
the
coast
of
Oregon,
which
studies
the
relationships
between
submarine
volcanic
events
and
the
chemistry
and
distribution
of
hydrothermal
vents
and
the
biologic
communities
that
depend
on
them.
The

The
atmosphere
is
a
mixture
of
gases
including
nitrogen,
oxygen,
carbon
dioxide
and
other
trace
gases.
Additionally,
the
atmosphere
contains
small,
suspended
liquid
and
particle
matter
called
aerosols.
Aerosols
come
from
various
sources,
both
natural
and
anthropogenic
(man-made).
Aerosols
are
important
to
study
and
monitor
because
they
have
direct
and
indirect

Students
often
hear
that
winters
were
colder
or
had
more
snow
in
the
past.
This
activity
will
help
them
to
determine
if
this
is
a
true
or
accurate
statement
for
their
location.
Students
will
access
historic
weather
information
from
NOAA
and
NASA
internet
resources.
They
will
determine
changes
in
average
temperatures,
precipitation
and
cloud
