 | Using Google Earth in the Classroom
This guide details how to use Google Earth as a teaching tool, along with some choice datasets for teaching scientific principles with current Earth science data. |
 | Global Temperature Anomalies
Rednered as a MPEG-4 H.264 formatted for use in spherical display systems, this dataset from the National Climatic Data Center shows the change in global temperatures from 1880 to the end of 2006. Red areas indicated that the region is warmer than the historically observed average; blue indicates cooler (more...) |
 | Global Precipitation Climatology
The Global Precipitation Climatology Project is a worldwide effort to develop high resolution analyses of precipitation data and trends using satellite observations (such as GOES and DMSP SSMI) and over 6,000 sampling stations. These data sets will be used to validate general circulation and climate mode (more...) |
 | Global Total Precipitable Water
An important component of weather models is understanding how much moisture is in the atmosphere, and whether the conditions are right for it to condense and precipitate into rain or snow. This model data, developed by a NASA-NOAA partnership with the University or Maryland shows the total precipitable (more...) |
 | Water runoff on land surfaces
When the land surface is saturated from too much precipitation or is impermeable, water runs off the surface and downhill/stream. This model data was developed by a partnership between NOAA, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and the University of Maryland ESSIC, and was intially visualized for use on th (more...) |
