This
lesson
plan
uses
Clouds
and
the
Earth's
Radiant
Energy
System
(CERES)
cloud
data
and
a
weather
map
to
explore
cloud
coverage
during
a
winter
storm.
When
atmospheric
scientists,
including
meteorologists,
study
weather
patterns,
they
may
use
several
different
sources
of
information.
For
example,
in
studying
storm
patterns,
they
may
use
a
combination
of
Earth
Observing
Satellite
data,

This
lesson
plan
uses
NASA
satellite
data
to
contrast
amounts
of
cloud
coverage
over
different
climate
regions
in
Africa.
It
introduces
the
circulation
pattern
of
Hadley
Cells
and
the
band
of
convergence
and
convection
called
the
Intertropical
Convergence
Zone
(ITCZ).
The

also
discusses
how
frequent

occur
along
the

Zone
(ITCZ)
and

The Aura Ozone Monitoring Lithograph describes where ozone is found, how ozone is formed, and the effects of ozone on biological processes. How and why NASA studies ozone is covered along with how individuals can monitor ground level (tropospheric) ozone by starting their own ozone-monitoring garden.
