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
