This site provides an explanation for cloud formation and seeks to correct myths or misconceptions about how clouds form. Water vapor, condensation, and evaporation are discussed in the context of dew-point temperature and saturation. Educators and anyone explaining cloud formation will find hints on how to present the correct information and avoid misinforming their audiences.

This
site
provides
multiple
access
points
to
all
types
of
El

data.
It
describes
both
El

and
La

conditions,
as
well
as
the
impacts
of
an
El

event
and
the
benefits
of
El

prediction.
Through
this

one
can
also
find
information
on
current

The
purpose
of
this
lesson
is
to
use
NASA
CERES
instrument
cloud
data
and
a
weather
map
to
explore
cloud
coverage
during
a
winter
storm.
Students
will
map
locations
using
latitude
and
longitude
coordinates
as
well
as
use
a
microset
of
satellite
data
to
investigate
cloud
characteristics
by
applying
percentage
to
determine
cloud
cover.
When
atmospheric
scientists,
including
meteorologists,

Become an amateur meteorologist by building your own weather station and keeping a record of your measurements. Older students can independently follow instructions on how to build five different instruments (barometer, hygrometer, rain gauge, weather vane, and compass). Younger students will need adult supervision with hammer and nails.

covers
many
of
the
components
of
cloud
formation
and
cloud
types.
Although
written
for
the
high
school
level,
the
middle
school
student
could
grasp
most
of
the
concepts
with
the
assistance
from
the
teacher.
Specific
concepts
covered
include
the
importance
of
and
mechanisms
that
produce
rising
air,
cloud
types,
and
ptyes
of
precipitation.

This
project
gives
students
the
opportunity
to
appreciate
how
difficult
it
is
to
predict
the
weather
when
making
forecasts.
By
accessing
an
assortment
of
images
and
data,
the
students
will
be
asked
to
forecast
on
a
regular
basis
and
determine
the
accuracy
of
the
forecasts
by
comparing
them
with
the
actual
observed
data.
Students
will
also
complete
specially
constructed
activities
that
introduce
