Clouds in Weather Patterns

Learn about factors, such as wind, moisture, temperature, and air pressure, at a regional level that help produce the weather that people experience locally. This video provides students with the opportunity to visualize a phenomenon that is too big and too remote to experience in a classroom. Stude

How does a weather forecast come about

The forecasts of the German Weather Service are based on data from a global measurement and observation network. There are more than 11,000 official ground stations worldwide. Author: 3Sat/nano/WerwieWas media production/Uta Meyer/Marika Bent/Robert Cöllen/Martin Langner/Katja Jopp/Jochen Schmidt

The Ocean: A Driving Force for Weather and Climate

Learn how the ocean relates to weather and climate in this video from NASA. Uneven heating from the Sun drives ocean and atmospheric circulation. Animations and satellite data show how ocean currents and eddies distribute energy and nutrients around the world. Heat exchanges between the ocean and th

The German Weather Service

The German Federal Weather Service in Offenbach is the largest data collector and user in Offenbach. With almost 2400 employees, it is one of the most important national weather services worldwide.

ScienceCasts: Earth Observation from the Station

NASA has launched an ozone sensor to help monitor long-term change in the ozone layer. This sensor, called SAGE III, will be installed on the International Space Station in 2017. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. http://www.nasa.gov/st

The Effect of Sea Surface Temperature on Hurricanes

This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW highlights research that supports the idea that warmer oceans generate and sustain more intense hurricanes. Ongoing monitoring of sea surface temperature (SST) has supplied evidence that the world's oceans warmed 0.5°C between 1970 and 2005. Because hu

Precipitation on Earth

Observe how precipitation develops, evolves, and moves across the globe with this NASA animation. This resource can stimulate student curiosity and interest in global precipitation patterns and provide opportunities for students to ask scientific questions that can be researched. Support materials
