This
site
provides
an
overview
of
the
earth's
atmospheric
greenhouse
effect
by
briefly
exploring
the
atmospheres
of
nearby
planets
and
discussing
the
greenhouse
gases
of
our
atmosphere.
Information
at
this
site
helps
students
to
understand
that
the
greenhouse
effect
is
what
makes
this
planet
suitable
for
life
as
we
know
it
and
that
the
earth's
atmosphere
contains
trace
gases,
water
vapor,
carbon
dioxide,

of
Maine
Aquarium
hosts
this
two-part
activity.
The
focus
is
on
seasonal
changes
in
the
mass
balance
of
the
Antarctic
Ice
Sheet.
Part
1
uses
an
atlas
and
satellite
imagery
to
examine
the
geography
of
the
region
and
the
changing
boundaries
of
the
ice
sheet.
Part
2
tracks
annual
changes
in
sea
ice.
There
is

NOAA's
Paleoclimatology
Program
is
working
with
scientists
from
around
the
world
to
study
past
climate
in
hopes
of
achieving
a
better
understanding
of
the
Earth's
present
and
future
climate.
This
site
was
developed
to
help
educate,
inform
and
highlight
the
importance
of
paleoclimate
research;
as
well
as
to
show
how
paleoclimate
research
relates
to

This
applet
provides
a
simulation
of
the
type
of
precipitation
that
results
from
adjusting
the
temperature
(dry
bulb
and
wet
bulb)
at
different
altitudes.
An
updraft
in
the
cloud
can
be
produced
in
order
to
see
its
influence
on
precipitation.
The
precipitation
types
that
are
simulated
include
