    Abstract

    This middle/junior high school computer activity requires students to compare the lidar method with millimeter wave cloud radar to measure cloud heights using real data, and to identify cloud types using micropulse lidar. It is part of the Atmospheric Visualization Collection (AVC), which focuses on data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program's Southern Great Plains Cloud and Radiation Testbed site in Kansas and Oklahoma. Educational levels: Middle school
