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
determine
the
seasonal
cloud
coverage
and
the
occurrence
of
different
cloud
types,
by
percent,
in
the
North
Carolina
(or
their
local
area).
Students
will
identify
different
cloud
types
and
determine
their
seasonality.
They

In
this
lesson,
students
download
cloud
coverage
and
surface
data
from
the
NASA
CERES
S-COOL
website
student
observation
database,
then
use
the
Excel
spreadsheet
program
to
develop
plots
of
the
data.
Students
explore
the
relationship
between
cloud
coverage
and
humidity
for
low-,
mid-,
and
high-level
clouds.
The
lesson
