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
content-related
activities
to
enhance
background
knowledge
in
cloud
types,
and
then
are
provided
detailed
instructions
on
how
to

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

This
module
engages
students
in
the
use
of
a
clean
room
and
in
the
planning
of
assembly
of
solar
collector

for
the
Genesis
space
mission.
They
will
work
in
production
design
teams
to
explore
how
the

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

This
chapter
describes
how
to
set
a
scale
and
measure
distances
and
areas
on
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
real-world
units.
The
