This
lesson
is
designed
to
help
students
gain
knowledge
in
using
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
(LAS)
to
specify
and
download
a
microset
of
data,
and
then
to
use
the
data
to
compare
NASA
satellite
observations
data
with
surface
measurements
of
snow
cover
and
temperature.
Students
will
obtain
snow
cover
and
surface
temperature
data
for
a
locale
in
Alaska,
plot
the
data,
and
then
investigate
seasonal

In
this
three-part
lesson,
students
explore
the
Live
Access
Server
(LAS)
and
produce
plots
of
sea
surface
temperature.
They
then
prepare
a
time
series
of
data
for
particular
location(s)
on
the
Gulf
Stream
and
use
Excel
to
produce
and
analyze
graphs
of
sea
surface
temperature.
One
of
the
most
studied
and
important
ocean
currents
of
the
world
lies
along

eastern
coast
of
the
United
States
and

This
is
a
hands-on
demonstration
of
the
communication
path
between
the
Extreme
Ultraviolet
Explorer
(EUVE)
satellite
and
a
scientist
on
Earth,
where
students
play
the
parts
of
various
satellites,
ground
stations,
and
science
centers.
The

This
chapter
describes
the
technique
of
preparing
latitude-longitude
based
data
so
that
it
can
be
imported
into
a
geographic
information
system
(GIS).
It
describes
the
steps
to
create
a
map
to
display
data
and
guides
users
through
some
basic
geographic
analyses.
The
focus
of
the
chapter?s
case
study
is
earthquake
prediction.

In
this
activity,
users
examine
satellite
images
from
NASA's
Total
Ozone
Mapping
Spectrometer
(TOMS)
that
show
how
much
ozone
is
in
the
atmosphere
over
the
Southern
Hemisphere.
They
interpret
the
images
to
identify
ozone
thinning
that
develops
over
this
region
each
summer,
and
compare
its
size
from
year
to

This
lesson
plan
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
contrast
amounts
of
cloud
coverage
over
different
climate
regions
in
Africa.
It
introduces
the
circulation
pattern
of
Hadley
Cells
and
the
band
of
convergence
and
convection
called
the
Intertropical
Convergence
Zone
(ITCZ).
The
lesson
also
discusses
how
frequent
cloud
cover
and
precipitation
occur
along
the
ITCZ
and
how
climate
affects
the
people
