Description NASA Connect Video containing six segments as described below. NASA Connect segment explaining aerosols and their affect on the changes of climate and weather. The segment also explores the lidar technique in the new CALIPSO satellite. NASA Connect segment involving French students in an activity called the Aerosols Protocol. The segment investigates how the sun's light is absorbed by particles in the atmosphere. NASA Connect segment explaining the difference between weather and climate. The segment explores what factors determine weather and how climate is affected by the weather. NASA Connect segment exploring the GLOBE International science program. The segment explains how the program helps scientists collect environmental data from all over the world. NASA Connect segment explaining how scientists use satellites to predict weather. The segment explores the Afternoon Constellation, or the collection of satellites known as the 'A' Train as well as weather balloons, weather stations and local weather observers. NASA Connect segment involving students in an activity called Size Up the Clouds. The segment explores simulated cloud types to estimate precipitation content.

The A-Train Observes Tropica …
Title The A-Train Observes Tropical Storm Debby
Abstract The A-Train is a group of spacecraft flying in close formation allowing data taken by each instrument to be correlated to the other instruments providing data synergy. The A-Train includes Aqua, Cloudsat, CALIPSO, Parasol, and Aura. The animation begins showing the Earth with moving clouds and with a day/night terminator. Time slows down, and A-train spacecraft orbits are added during a daytime pass. The orbits progress around the globe for 12 hours. During a night time pass the camera zooms into Tropical Storm Debby as the A-train flys over on August 24, 2006. Data sets from some of the A-train's spacecraft/instruments are shown including Aqua/MODIS, Cloudsat, CALIPSO, and Aqua/AIRS. This visualization was created to support an A-Train session at the 2007 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS).
