Snow and Ice: The Sequel
http://www.simplescience.org/Lessons/Earth_Space/SnowIce02/Lesson0.htm
Comment on this resource
In this lesson, learners use WebImage, a Web-based customized version of ImageJ, to investigate changes in snow cover and sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere over a period of 24 years. The images are obtained from satellite measurements of visible and microwave radiation. The lesson follows from Snow and Ice: A Hemispherical View. Full description.

Snow and Ice: A Hemispherical View
http://www.simplescience.org/Lessons/Earth_Space/SnowIce01/Lesson0.htm
Comment on this resource
In this lesson, learners compare snow and ice cover in the Northern Hemisphere over a period of two years. The images are obtained from measurements of visible and microwave radiation taken by satellites and sent back to Earth and are analyzed with a customized version of ImageJ running as an applet within a browser.

Comment on this resource
In this lesson, learners use a Web-based version of ImageJ to examine images of Hurricane Katrina as it moved through the Gulf of Mexico in August 2005. Students explore infrared radiation, water vapor, and visible radiation, and use images captured by the NOAA GOES satellite to plot and measure the path of Katrina. Full description.

Comment on this resource
In this lesson, students use a Web-based customized version of ImageJ to examine images of atmospheric ozone levels over the South Pole to determine the months of lowest ozone levels and changes in ozone levels since 1979. Some of the causes for the decline in ozone are introduced. Full description.
