Dynamic Air-Sea Interactions
Explore dynamic air-sea interactions from an interesting event
Select the question your instructor has assigned:
Exploration
Students will explore and analyze wave height and wave period using graphs, and hypothesize possible causation.
Concept Invention
Students will explore and analyze wave properties, in addition to surface current speed and wind speed, using graphs, and hypothesize possible correlation and causation.
Application
Students will explore and analyze wave properties, surface current speed, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure using graphs, and hypothesize possible correlation and causation. Students will predict precipitation amounts in relation to atmospheric pressure and reflect on impacts of episodic events on coastal communities.
