Weather Predicting Simplified is the first book that shows the reader, with many sample satellite photos and weather maps, how to predict the weather easily and accurately - without having to wait for hours for NOAA updates. (McGraw Hill)Michael Carr...
Water vapor is more difficult to measure than the other greenhouse gases and scientists are uncertain as to the exact part that it plays in global warming. Scientists believe there is a correlation between the increase of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and the increase of water vapor. The NO...
And don't forget about tide times, either. Check tide charts to determine exactly when and where your beach ceremony should take place to avoid an unexpected flood at high tide. Use the local coast guard or a reliable website, like theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA), whi...

NOAA/Wikimedia Commons Sea sponges don't look like animals at first glance. They are immobile, attaching themselves to undersea surfaces, giving them a certain plant-like look. There are over 8,000 different species of sponge, but one in particular has fascinated scientists with its astounding ...
There's a saying for these, according to NOAA: "Cut-off low, weatherman's woe." (FOX Weather) Cut-offs are persistent low-pressure areas that have become isolated or 'cut-off' from the primary airflow. Why does that bring the "woe" to meteorologists? "The 'woe' comes for their ...
Using the Apple Weather app as well as third-party apps which show NOAA weather radar, you can turn your iPad into a weather station. You can leave the weather apps running and switch between them, or you can remotely connect your iPad to Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as Arduino...
The wave generator at Emerald Pointe's Splash Island uses pressurized air to produce gentle ripples. In the ocean, most waves are created by the wind. The rushing air pushes some water molecules together, producing a swell of water -- a disturbance in the ocean's surface -- at a particu...
Bringing time into the analysis adds yet another dimension to all the relationships discussed so far. Exercise: Write sample questions illustrating different types of analyses that require understanding the intersection of space and time. Map courtesy of NOAA. Sample: When and where will the whale ...
