to
examine
the
relationship
between
altitude,
atmospheric
pressure,
temperature
and
humidity
at
a
particular
location.
In

The
Atmospheric
Radiation

(ARM)
Program
is
an
important
part
of
the
U.S.
Department
of
Energy's
(DOE's)
strategy
to
understand
global
climate
change.
The
ARM
Program
has
established
three
outdoor
research
sites
around
the
world.
Scientists
gather
and
use
the
data
from
these
sites
to
study
the
effects
of
sunlight,
radiant
energy,
and
clouds
on
temperatures,
weather,
and
climate.

For this lesson, students will assume the role of an outdoor sports event planner. They will evaluate changes in air quality over a one year time frame based on a review of Air Quality-Carbon Monoxide Data and quantitative line graphs. The data will be used to make an informed decision about the best times of the year to plan for outdoor and indoor sports activities.
