NOAA and NASA’s Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) is a series of polar-orbiting environmental satellites. Each day, JPSS satellites cross the equator 14 times to observe the entire Earth twice. These satellites contribute critical meteorological data that NOAA’s National Weather Service uses to make accurate weather forecasts and predict severe weather.
Journaling about local daily average temperatures for a month or a year can be a fun way to learn more about your town’s climate and weather conditions. These worksheets will help you identify temperature trends and turn your observations into art.
