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,
and
then
to
use
the
data
to
compare
NASA
satellite
data
observations
with
surface
measurements
of
snow
cover
and
temperature.
Students
will
obtain
snow
cover
and
surface
temperature
data
for
a
locale
in
Alaska,
plot
the
data,
and
then
investigate
seasonal

This resource ties together physical and biological aspects of ocean color for high school students. Specific sections discuss life in the oceans, the appearance of the ocean from space, phytoplankton (the little link in a big food chain), carbon (where does it go?), and the Earth as a giant greenhouse. There are also activities that accompany these lessons.

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.

This
hands-on
demonstration
of
the
communications
path
between
scientists
and
the
NASA
Extreme
Ultraviolet
Explorer
(EUVE)
Satellite
shows
how
scientific
data
are
downloaded
from
the
satellite.
The
same
demonstration
can
also
be
used
to
illustrate
how
the
instruments
on
the
satellite
are
commanded
by
scientists
on
Earth.
It
gives
students
a
feel
for
the
dynamics
of
satellite

code,
or
they

data
on
severe
weather
(tornadoes,
hail,

This
activity
describes
the
technique
of
preparing
"GIS-ready"
data
and
shows
how
to
map
that
data
and
conduct
basic
analyses
using
a
geographic
information
system
(GIS).
First,
you
will
download
and
format
near
real-time
and
historical
earthquake
data
from
the
USGS.
Using
latitude
and
longitude
fields,
you
will
then
plot
these
data
in
a
GIS.
Next,
you
will
analyze
patterns
by
querying
records
and

Users
download
and
analyze
satellite
images
showing
the
amount
of
ozone
in
the
stratosphere.
They
interpret
the
images
to
identify
the
ozone
"hole"
that
develops
over
Antarctica
each
summer,
and
compare
its
size
from
year
to
year.
Using
freely
available
image
analysis
software,
ImageJ,
users
quantify
the
area
of
the
Antarctic
ozone
hole
each
October
from
1996
to
2004.
Finally,
they

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

regions.
Students
will

This
easy

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
