El Nino Theme Page- http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/toga-tao/el-nino/home.html El Nino is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather around the globe. Among these consequences are increased rainfall across the southern tier of the US and in Peru, which has caused destructive flooding, and drought in the west Pacific, sometimes associated with devastating brush fires in Australia.
El Nino.com- http://www.elnino.com/ El Nio is like a season that comes at irregular intervals and stays for an unspecified period of time. The same way yellow-orange leaves are associated with fall, or snow with winter, during El Nio there are certain expected changes in climate and weather patterns. These changes, which begin in the tropical Pacific Ocean, have come to define El Nio.
Environmental News Network El Nino Special- http://www.enn.com/specialreports/elnino/ This special report from the Environmental News Network gets high marks on both content and presentation. Why the sudden El Nio hubbub? Is this a recent weather phenomenon? No, but our ability to forecast, measure and understand the El Nio forces has increased tremendously in the last decade. Peruvian fishermen were the first to notice that roughly every two to seven years their normally cold waters would become warm, and the usual south-to-north current was reversed.
Inside the Climatologist\'s Toolbox- http://whyfiles.org/021climate/index.html How do scientists measure climate and how do they look back in time to see what climate was like long ago? Look inside the Climatologist\'s Toolbox to find out how scientists are learning from tree rings, ice cores and volcanos. For middle and high school students, this site is part of the Why Files created by the National Institute for Science Education.
Kids\' Lightning Information and Safety- http://www.azstarnet.com/anubis/zaphome.htm Sabrina created this web site after she was struck by lightning while hiking in the Grand Canyon with her parents. "I made this web site because it really hurts when you are struck by lightning and I want to help other kids to learn more about lightning safety." Did you know you that lightning can strike up to ten miles away from a storm? Learn how to calculate your distance from the lightning by counting the seconds between the flash and the bang. Sabrina has packed her site with lots of good safety tips and real-life stories from others that have been struck.
Lightning- http://www.chaseday.com/lightning.htm Want to learn more about the lightning and understand what\'s going on in these storms? Kids can learn more about lightning by visiting sources such as the the Exhibit page, or another source is the National Geographic Page on lightning . Lightning extending from thunderstorms into space is a new area of study and may be observed in special situations involving very clear dark skies.
Make a Weather Station- http://www.miamisci.org/hurricane/weatherstation.html Using simple household materials and several purchased thermometers, elementary-age students can build tools that measure wind, air pressure, moisture and temperature. These graphic-laden pages are slow to load, but instructions are explicit and easy to follow. This weather station makes an excellent project for your family, scout troop or classroom.
Make Your Own Weather Station- http://www.fi.edu/weather/todo/todo.html Meteorologists study the weather by recording and analyzing data. You can become an amateur meteorologist by building your own weather station and keeping a record of your measurements. After a while, you\'ll notice the weather patterns that allow meteorologists to forecast the weather.
Monsoons- http://www.mrdowling.com/612-monsoon.html Brief description of this weather phenomena that dominates India.
NASA Earth Science Enterprise: For Kids Only- http://kids.mtpe.hq.nasa.gov/ NASA has made a promise to study Earth, not just space. NASA uses satellites and high altitude airplanes to study the weather and how it changes the Earth. In the future, scientists will be able to predict big floods, droughts, and freezing winters -- maybe even a whole year before they happen.

The Ozone Hole Tour- http://www.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk/tour/ Dramatic loss of ozone in the lower stratosphere over Antarctica was first noticed in the 1970s by a research group from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) . We live in the "Troposphere" where most of the weather occurs; such as rain, snow and clouds. Above the troposphere is the "Stratosphere"; an important region in which effects such as the Ozone Hole and Global Warming originate.
PSC Meteorology Program Cloud Boutique- http://vortex.plymouth.edu/clouds.html The PSC Meteorology Program has developed this server to provide explanations of and access to detailed pictures of some basic cloud forms. The cloud images are relatively large (640x480) in order to show detailed structure and features. All of these pictures were taken in the local area around Plymouth, New Hampshire.
Reading Weather Maps- http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/maps/home.rxml In the sections that follow, we examine features to look for on weather maps to make a forecasts, general methods of preparing a forecast, and more specific tips for specific scenarios.
Thunder & Lightning- http://www.kings.k12.ca.us/central/cuesd.a/tq/weather/thunderlight.html What creates these brilliant flashes of light during a thunderstorm? Scientists believe that ice particles in the clouds grind together forming an electric charge at the bottom of the cloud. An opposite charge builds up on the ground right below the cloud. One way you can tell there is going to be a thunderstorm is that your hair stands on end because of the electrical charge on the ground.
Virtual Weather School Weather FAQs- http://www.accuweather.com/wx/school/weatherfaqs.htm Our FAQs - or Frequently Asked Questions - cover a variety of meteorological subjects.

What is Thunder Made Out Of?- http://www.eecs.umich.edu/mathscience/funexperiments/agesubject/lessons/beakman/thunder.html Thunder is not made out of a thing. Thunder is an event. Thunder is when a certain thing happens. If we could see thunder, it would probably look like the design of sound waves getting pushed and pushing through the air. From Beakman & Jax.
