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
this
lesson,
weather
data
from
ground-based
and
satellite

Scientists
have
recently
been
reporting
that
the
average
temperature
of
the
Earth
has
been
rising,
usually
referred
to
as
'global
warming'.
What
is
the
evidence
for
this
change?
One
piece
of
evidence
could
come
from
patterns
of
snow
(on
land)
and
ice
(either
sea
ice
floating
on
the
oceans
or
glaciers
on
land)
on
the
Earth
-
if
the
snow
and
ice
are
disappearing,
it
would
indicate
rising
average
temperatures.

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.
For
this
lesson,
students
will
hypothesize
what
types
of
clouds
they
believe
will
create
the
most
precipitation
(rainfall)
over
Nashville,
TN.
Students

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.

Corals
feed
on
algae
that
thrive
in
the
sunlit
water
surrounding
a
reef.
However,
when
water
temperatures
get
too
warm,
the
algae
food
source
dies
and
corals
turn
a
whitish
color.
Through
scientific
observation,
it
has
been
determined
that
coral
bleaching
may
occur
when
sea
surface
temperature
(SST)
exceeds
30C
or
86F
for
a
week
or
longer.
During
late
2005,
a
major
coral
bleaching
event
occurred
when
