| Designed by UNL Professor Ken Dewey, this Internet site contains
climate data and climate information for locations across Nebraska.
It also includes links providing current weather conditions (radar,
satellite, temperatures, forecast maps, etc.). One of the most popular
parts of the Nebraska Weather and Climate Internet site is the storm
reports and storm photos section. When storms impact the region, (tornadoes,
floods, blizzards, etc.) a brief storm report and numerous pictures
are posted at the site.
When climate makes the news, such as global warming conferences,
special climate sections have been added so that students can read
about the science of the climate topic.
In addition to current information, the site devotes a section
to historical weather events. For example, Professor Dewey recently
created a section devoted to the devastating June 1980 Grand Island
tornadoes. The section incorporates news reports and photographs
from Professor Dewey's personal collection.
"Weather Internet Sources for Teachers"
http://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/teachers.html
Professor Dewey developed this site as a result of requests from
science teachers. It consists of a compilation of links to weather
and climate resources on the Internet. These resources include links
to posters, workbooks, weather books, videos, examples of class
projects at various schools, activities at science centers around
the U.S., interesting climate and weather information sources, and
links to federal agencies with a science education mission. |
