Welcome to my little piece of the world here at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. 00:00:00
From this location and with the help of some technology, 00:00:05
I am able to network across the country to NASA field centers and to other organizations 00:00:08
that are interested in using NASA research data and software tools 00:00:13
to produce technology products for use in the classroom, like yours. 00:00:17
Norbert has lined up some students in Monument Valley, Utah, 00:00:21
who will share with you two dynamic websites on hurricanes, 00:00:24
websites that use visualization, remote sensing, and simulation tools 00:00:27
to immerse you in past and recent hurricane events and then present you with a challenge. 00:00:31
So, get ready to use the tools that will help you think and act like a meteorologist 00:00:36
as you explore the website Earth Pulse Center, 00:00:41
created by Riverdeep Interactive Learning and Exploring the Environment, 00:00:44
developed by the NASA Classroom of the Future. 00:00:49
There are a lot of great activities here, 00:00:52
such as performing arts, National Honor Society, student council, and basketball. 00:00:54
This is a great place to go to school. 00:00:58
From the NASA Connect website, go to Norbert's lab, then click on the activity button. 00:01:00
That will take you to the Earth Pulse Center. 00:01:04
Go to the control room and select hurricanes. 00:01:06
Here you'll find three activity areas, forecasting, analysis, and hazard mitigation. 00:01:09
Click on the forecasting desk first. 00:01:13
The hurricane data archive provides access to Atlantic Basin hurricane simulations 00:01:16
from the past 50 years. 00:01:21
Search for a hurricane by either name or year, 00:01:23
and then run a simulation of the storm as it moves across the Atlantic Basin. 00:01:25
Compare and contrast tracks from different years 00:01:30
to identify common patterns of behavior among Atlantic Basin hurricanes. 00:01:32
Draw your own prediction of the current storm's future movement and behavior. 00:01:37
Come back a few days later to compare your forecast against the hurricane's actual path. 00:01:41
If there's not currently an active storm, 00:01:45
you can use a past hurricane to practice your forecasting skills. 00:01:47
At the analysis desk, you will compare the line graphs of several storms' wind histories 00:01:51
to identify common patterns of behavior. 00:01:56
You can also examine the inverse relationship between wind speed and pressure in a hurricane. 00:01:58
Using processed satellite imagery from the National Hurricane Center, 00:02:04
you'll be able to track data to tell a more complete story of a hurricane's life. 00:02:08
At the hazard mitigation desk, you'll be able to look at news stories 00:02:13
that were published during some past storms 00:02:16
to get an idea of the warnings that were issued as the hurricanes developed. 00:02:18
Take a virtual field trip down to hurricane territory 00:02:22
from the safety of your own computer screen with the field cam. 00:02:25
By positioning the field cam on a map somewhere along the path of an impending hurricane, 00:02:28
you might get a glimpse into the eye of the storm. 00:02:33
Issuing warnings to hurricane-prone areas is a tricky task. 00:02:36
At the warning simulator, you get to set the guidelines 00:02:39
for when to sound warning sirens for a particular coastal community. 00:02:42
Our second featured website is called Exploring the Environment. 00:02:46
This website provides the tools you will need to complete the task of reviewing the actions 00:02:50
in 1992 Hurricane Andrew in a preparation for tracking, analyzing, 00:02:54
and predicting the course of a new hurricane that may threaten North America in the future. 00:02:59
Using remote sensing images from the NOAA Weather Satellites, 00:03:04
you will plot the hurricane's progress on a chart and make predictions about its landfall. 00:03:08
Thanks for watching NASA Connect. Bye! 00:03:13
Bringing to you the power of digital learning, 00:03:17
I'm Shelley Canright for NASA Connect Online. 00:03:20
