NASA's
eight
Distributed
Active
Archive
Centers
(DAAC)
located
across
the
U.S.
deliver
data
that
underpin
research
and
understanding
of
the
Earth
system.
The
DAACs
distribute
science
data
from
both
heritage
and
current
NASA
satellite
missions
that
include
NASA
in-situ
field
campaigns
and

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,
then
to
use
the
data
to
create
graphs
comparing
the
amount
(percentage)
of
snow
cover
along
selected
latitudes.
Students
will
make
graphs
from
the

then
use
the
graphs
to
investigate
the

In this lesson, students will use the Live Access Server to access and use historical satellite data for the Costa Rican (Central American) region. Students will examine monthly precipitation averages over three years to look for seasonal patterns. Detailed Procedure and Materials, Vocabulary linked to an On-line glossary, and Teacher Notes are provided.
