This module is a combination of two elements. The first is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Severe Storms Spotters Guide. The second is a section discussing the efforts and results of modeling severe storms. The Spotters Guide contains supplemental instructional resources and a program designed to familiarize meteorologists and advanced severe storm spotters with the building blocks of convective storm structure. The focus of the training series is the development of a thunderstorm spectrum and a discussion of the physical characteristics and severe weather potential of the various storm types in the spectrum. Resource Type: Instructional Material - Tutorial, Audio/Visual - PhotographGrade Level: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Observe an animation of land and sea breezeshttp://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es1903/es190...Learners can view the animation, identify the key components in this system, and explain how each one contributes to the formation of a breeze. Although the resource was designed to accompany a specific Earth science textbook, it can be used without that text. Resource Type: Audio/Visual - Movie/AnimationGrade Level: 3, 4, 5, 6 |
