Mountain (Adiabatic) Simulation Interactive Tutorial http://www.pals.iastate.edu/simulations/library/Mtnsim/index.html This applet simulates the difficult concepts of adiabatic processes. A leaf symbolizes a parcel of air rising over the Mountain. Graphs then display the information as the leaf rises and falls. Users are allowed to vary the beginning temperature and vapor-pressure of the leaf. | ||||

|---|---|---|---|---|
http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a003100/a003136 This animation shows total ozone in the Antarctic region along with the maximum ozone depth and size since the earliest measurements of the TOMS instrument on the Earth Probe satellite. This animation was created for an exhibit at the Smithsonium Museum. | ||||

Basic Physics | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html HyperPhysics is an exploration environment for concepts in physics which employs concept maps and other linking strategies to facilitate smooth navigation. For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network. | ||||

| DP | Carbon Dating Site | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
http://www.c14dating.com/int.html Radiocarbon dating is the technique upon which chronologies of the late Pleistocene and Holocene have been built. This resource is designed to provide online information concerning the radiocarbon dating method. We hope it will be of occasional use to radiocarbon users and interested students alike. | ||||
| al | Cloud Development | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Grow a Thunderstorm http://itg1.meteor.wisc.edu/wxwise/AckermanKnox/chap11/growTW.html This applet allows students to manipulate profiles of temperature and dewpoint in order to grow a thunderstorm. It can be used for self-study or within a lab exercise. For example, the instructor can have students create particular profiles and respond to questions related to the changes in cloud structure associated with those profiles. | ||||

| DP | Earth Observatory | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/ NASAs Earth Observatory provides a freely-accessible publication on the Internet where the public can obtain new satellite imagery and scientific information about our home planet. The focus is on Earths climate and environmental change. In particular, we hope our site is useful to public media and educators. | ||||
