Using image analysis techniques, students make movies from satellite images captured over several days and determine storm sizes, strengths, speeds, and forcasts. Students upload local weather conditions and share data with students around the world. Using a variety of avenues to success, all students demonstrate their knowledge by systematically recording data, preparing weather reports, creating weather maps, and making forecasts.
Students synthesize weather variables from current maps and view current conditions.
Students track the development and movement of storms as the occur. Students use image processing software to analyze current weather images to determine size, speed, and area. Students systematically record satellite images to make movies that demonstrate dynamic changes in the atmosphere . Students use symbol maps to get current weather reports world-wide and create their own weather maps and forcasts.
