Download NASA satellite data to create a custom climograph for a specific location.

Students interpret a graph of surface temperatures taken from city districts and other types of communities.

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.

The Earth System Satellite Images help students observe and analyze global Earth and environmental data, understand the relationship among different environmental variables, and explore how the data change seasonally and over longer timescales.  

NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
