In this NOVA Lab, students will learn how scientists use sophisticated instruments and data to study and predict the development of Earth’s powerful storms. Students will learn about cloud types, investigate the progression of Hurricane Sandy, and analyze data to reconstruct the paths of three tropical cyclones. Finally, students will use the NASA Worldview tool to investigate recent conditions for a region. Students predict how storms may develop or change using data, such as water vapor, cloud top temperature and pressure, and land temperature.
