Snow
and
ice
are
both
precipitation,
that
is,
the
processes
that
remove
water
from
clouds.
Clouds,
regions
of
the
atmosphere
with
high
relative
humidity,
are
made
of
droplets
of
water
and
perhaps
bits
of
ice.
Even
though
water
is
much
denser
than
air,
these
droplets
and
ice
crystals

upward
air
motion.
When
these
droplets
or
crystals
join
together,

In
this
lesson,
students
download
cloud
and
surface
data
from
the
NASA
CERES
S-COOL
website
student
observation
database,
then
develop
and
compare
graphs
to
explore
the
relationships
between
surface
temperature,
pressure,
and
humidity.
Students
then
investigate
possible
patterns
in
cloud-types
and
the
surface
conditions
for
several
locations
on
a
particular
date
of
their
choice
from
the
S-COOL
data.
