then
to
use
the

website
student
observation
database,
then
develop

have
studied
the
physical
properties
of
clouds
and
have
developed
instruments
onboard
satellites
to
characterize
the
types
of
clouds
they
see
below.
Some
satellites
have
instruments
that
allow
them
to
measure
rainfall
as
well.
For
this
lesson,
students
will
hypothesize
what
types
of

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

Stream
and
Atlantic
Basin.
