Outcome: Explain the effect of solar energy heat on ocean circulation. | ||||
Grade level: 5-8 Theme: ocean circulation Flat Tool: http://ourocean.jpl.nasa.gov/AQUARIUS/chp2.jsp GoogleEarth Interface Tool: http://aquarius.jpl.nasa.gov/AQUARIUS_DEV/chp2.jsp Create global maps of mean conditions for any month at designated depths (down to 1500m) using the pull-down menus. Monthly time-series graphs of salinity, temperature, or density can be plotted by selecting up to six locations (by clicking on the map or typing latitude/latitude information into the fields below). These time-series graphs can also represent up to six different depths. Plotted data will also be shown in a table that is easily downloaded (e.g., into Excel). Sources include interpolated atlas data or actual measurements from the database. Focus Questions | Flat Tool Tutorial |
