Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.
The advance-and-retreat cycle of snow cover drastically changes the whiteness and brightness of Earth. Using two maps created using NASA satellite data for 2017, students review the seasonal differences of snow and ice extent and answer questions on their observations.
Interpret the map, or model, to find patterns in the occurrence of tropical cyclones from 1842 through 2018.
