This
lesson
is
designed
to
help
students
gain
knowledge
in
graphing
a
microset
of
data,
then
using
the
graphs
to
investigate
trends
in
cloud
coverage
over
a
given
locale.
Students
are
provided

describes
how
to
set
a
scale

satellite
images.
Using
ImageJ,
a
freely
available
image
analysis
program
that
runs
on
most
operating
systems,
users
set
the
spatial
calibration
of
an
image,
then
select
and
measure
distances
and
areas
on
it.
The
measurement
results
are
reported
in
