In
this
lesson,
students
hypothesize
what
types
of
clouds
they
believe
will
create
the
most
precipitation
(rainfall)
over
Nashville,
TN.
Scientists
have
studied
the
physical
properties
of
clouds
and
have
developed
instruments
onboard
satellites
to
characterize
the
types
of
clouds
they
see
below.
Some
satellites
have
instruments
that
allow
them
to
measure
rainfall
as
well.

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
the
eastern
coast
of
the
United
States
and

This
lesson
is
designed
to
help
students
gain
knowledge
in
accessing
current
weather
data
and
in
using
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
(LAS)
to
specify
and
download
historical
satellite
data.
Students
then
use
the
data
to
examine
the
relationship
between
altitude,
atmospheric
pressure,
temperature
and
humidity
at
a
particular
location.
In

students
collect
sea
surface
temperature
(SST)
data
from
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live

Server
(LAS),
create
time-series
line

and
use
the

to
study
a
major
coral
bleaching
event.
Corals
feed
on
algae
that
thrive
in
the
sunlit
water
surrounding
a
reef.
However,
when
water
temperatures
get
too
warm,
the
