Students develop and test a hypothesis about how albedo affects temperature.
Students will examine a 2014-2015 El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event to identify relationships among sea surface height, sea surface temperature, precipitation, and wind vectors.
Explore the energy and matter cycles found within the Earth System.
In this activity, students explore three indicators of drought are: soil moisture, lack of precipitation, and decreased streamflows. Students investigate each of these parameters develop a sense for the effects of drought on land.
Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.
