Weather and Climate
What is the difference between weather and climate?
![Page 6: NES: Weather and Climate: Satellite Meteorology](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb53d62e268c58cd5cdc70/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How Do Scientists Collect Evidence About Climate?A. Using remote sensing from space with satellites
B. By ground-based measurements of surface temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and sea level
C. By collecting “proxy data” from tree rings, ice cores, and historical records
D. All the above

Poll Audience
A. Geostationary• Image resolution is not
very good because of distance from earth
• Can not see the poles very well
• Can view only one hemisphere
B. Polar• Image resolution is good
because it’s closer to earth
• Sees the poles about 14 times a day
• Sees tropical and middle latitude regions twice a day
Use the characteristics for GOES and POES below to determine the satellite used to monitor ice bergs.

Featured Lesson: Monitoring the Global Environment
Students will be able to interpret data from environmental satellites and draw conclusions from those data.
Part 1: Investigating climate changePart 2: Problem-Based Learning
Biomass burning and global climate change
![Page 23: NES: Weather and Climate: Satellite Meteorology](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb53d62e268c58cd5cdc70/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Monitoring the Global Environment
![Page 24: NES: Weather and Climate: Satellite Meteorology](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb53d62e268c58cd5cdc70/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Global Montage
![Page 25: NES: Weather and Climate: Satellite Meteorology](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb53d62e268c58cd5cdc70/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Monitoring the Global Environment
• GOES spots forest fires and monitors biomass burning
• Satellite Sounders detect trace gases in the atmosphere
• Biomass burning and global climate change
• POES monitors the pulse of the planet (The EOS program)
• Satellite images from the MODIS radiometer

Urban Heat Islands
• Introduce students to urban heat Islands
• Identify urban areas in Northeast United States
Remote Sensing Using Weather Satellites
![Page 27: NES: Weather and Climate: Satellite Meteorology](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb53d62e268c58cd5cdc70/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reasons for patterns
The highest temperatures are found in the most dense part of a city. That’s the urban heat island effect.

Assessment Questions
If POES flies so much closer to the Earth than GOES, why bother using instruments on GOES to monitor things like forest fires or biomass burning?
![Page 30: NES: Weather and Climate: Satellite Meteorology](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb53d62e268c58cd5cdc70/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Problem-Based Learning
• Analyze the cause-and-effect relationships of a warming climate
• Discuss use of satellite technology to study climate change
• Create a presentation of policy recommendations for the Governor
