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
download
data
from
the
MY
NASA
DATA
Live
Access
Server
(LAS)
and
to
use

The
purpose
of
this
lesson
is
to
use
NASA
CERES
instrument
cloud
data
and
a
weather
map
to
explore
cloud
coverage
during
a
winter
storm.
Students
will
map
locations
using
latitude
and
longitude
coordinates
as
well
as
use
a
microset
of
satellite
data
to
investigate
cloud
characteristics
by
applying
percentage
to
determine
cloud
cover.
When
atmospheric
scientists,
including
meteorologists,
study
weather

One
of
the
most
studied
and
important
ocean
currents
of
the
world
lies
along
the
eastern
coast
of
the
United
States
and
is
called
the
Gulf
Stream.
It
derives
its
name
from
its
source
region
of
warm
water
in
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.
For
the
past
two
decades,
scientists
have
been
collecting
sea
surface
temperature
(SST)
data
from
satellites,
buoys
and
ships
in
the
Gulf
Stream
and
Atlantic
Basin.

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.

This
lesson
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
contrast
amounts
of
cloud
coverage
over
different
climate
regions
in
Africa.
An
an
outcome
of
the
lesson,
the
student
will
be
able
to
explain
how
Earth's
major
air
circulations
affect
global
weather
patterns
and
relate
local
weather
patterns
to
climate
as
well
as
identify
different
climate
regions.
Students
will
also
describe
conditions
for
cloud
formation
along

This
easy
but
effective
lesson
uses
NASA
CERES
satellite
percent
coverage
surface
data
along
with
a
world
map
and
asks
students
to
locate
landmasses
and
bodies
of
water
at
Earth's
Equator.
Students
will
map
locations
using
latitude
and
longitude
coordinates.
Using
the
microset
of
satellite
data
included
with
the
lesson
to
investigate
surface
characteristics,
students
will
apply
