This
standards-based
module
uses
hands-on
activities
and
real-time
data
investigations
to
allow
students
in
the
elementary
grades
to
investigate
weather
phenomena
both
locally
as
well
as
in
other
places
around
the
world.
By
using
hands-on
activities
and
real-time
data
investigations,
the
students
will
develop
a
basic
understanding
of
how
weather
can
be
described
in
measurable
quantities,
such
as
temperature,

In this lesson, students define and classify the various ways in which numbers are used in forecasting and coping with the effects of a hurricane. This is followed up with an opportunity for research to compare and contrast these numbers as they apply to Hurricane Floyd and other recent hurricanes. There are also directions on how students can graph their findings.

The
Atmospheric
Radiation
Measurement
(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.

Research
in
Europe,
Asia,
Africa,
and
the
Americas
all
point
to
the
same
conclusion:
climate
change
is
causing
the
world's
glaciers
to
melt
at
an
increasingly
rapid
pace.
It
is
a
phenomenon
that
may
prove
catastrophic
for
the
millions
of
people
in
the
world
who
depend
on
ice
melt
for
their
fresh
water
supply.

This
article
deals
with
the
phenomena
of
El
Nino
and
La
Nina.
Topics
include
the
apparently
widespread
effect
of
these
phenomena
on
weather
systems
around
the
Earth
and
new
methods
to
detect
their
arrival
and
departure.
There
is
a
discussion
of
the
use
of
SeaWIFS
satellite
data
to
detect
changes
in
the
distribution
of
oceanic
algae
(phytoplankton)
which
occur
when
warm
or
cool
water
masses
move,

This
summary
of
the
Third
Assessment
Report
of
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change
was
compiled
to
describe
the
current
state
of
understanding
of
the
climate
system
as
it
was
when
the
document
was
written
in
2001.
It
provides
estimates
of
the
climate
system's
projected
future
evolution
and
the
uncertainties
associated
with
these
projections.
