Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.
Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites. In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.
