Does the monthly trend in surface flux correlate with mean surface temperature at any latitude and longitude?
3. Select a point of the Earth’s surface to investigate with the Live Access Server. 4. Identify the city nearest that point by geographic features. For example, London is an urban area in the Northern Hemisphere 75km from the English channel and 50km from the North Sea. 5. Go to the MY NASA DATA website and select DATA ACCESS from the task bar. Choose the Live Access Server (Advanced), or simply click the Lesson Link above. Choose Land Surface, Surface Radiation, Monthly Surface All-Sky SW Downward Flux (SRB). 6. Set these pull-down task bars – View: Time series, Output: Line plot, Region: your choice. Within your region, use the cursor to identify a continental location. Note the latitude and longitude so that you can look up those coordinates in the atlas. Put some thought into the climate of that region to include in your discussion. 7. Select NEXT to view your graph. Save your radiation graph in your school file. 8. Return to LAS Datasets and select Land Surface, then Surface Cond
