  1. Global Precipitation Measurement Mission Developed by the GPM Education and Public Outreach Team NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Water Falls Post-Visit Lesson

  2. Engage What were the main topics discussed in the movie, “Water Falls”?

  3. Engage Fresh Water How is fresh water helpful to life on Earth? How is it harmful?

  4. Engage Natural Hazards Which natural hazards are related to too much rainfall? Which are related to too little?

  5. Engage Too Much, Too Little http://pmm.nasa.gov/education/videos/gpm-too-much-too-little

  6. Explore How do we measure rainfall?

  7. Explore How many rain gauges are out there? http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011100/a011165/Rain_Gauge_Comp_v3.mov

  8. Explore Hurricanes Credit: NASA Earthobservatory, Super Typhoon Utor, http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=81837

  9. There are a number of factors responsible for hurricanes to either intensify or weaken. Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) is one of them. Hurricanes usually form in waters of 26.5oC (82oF) or higher.

  10. Explain Average Sea Surface Temperatures for August

  11. Explain SST 1 - August SST 2 - February

  12. Explore What are some dangers posed by hurricanes?

  13. Explore “[Research Scientist Marshall] Shepherd said that [Hurricane Sandy] will bring significant rains and inland freshwater flooding, that, he said, was often the deadliest threat from tropical systems.” http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/lookingatearth/shepherd_bio.html NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (2012, October 26). Hurricane Sandy looks as 'Frankenstorm' approaching U.S. East Coast. ScienceDaily.

  14. Explore Hurricane Katrina - 2005 http://www.history.com/topics/hurricane-katrina/videos#hurricane-katrina

  15. Explore What tools do Earth scientists use to gather great amounts of data about global precipitation? Satellites TRMM GPM http://pmm.nasa.gov/node/287 http://pmm.nasa.gov/

  16. Explain GPM: Hurricanes Beyond the Tropics http://pmm.nasa.gov/education/videos/gpm-hurricanes-beyond-tropics

  17. Explain How can data gathered by this mission be useful to those who have to decide on the actions citizens should take before a big storm hits?

  18. Explain Hurricane Katrina (2005) was the costliest hurricane to hit the US - $133,800,000,000!!!

  19. Explain Why do think the storms in the late 1800s and early 1900s were so deadly?

  20. Explain Rainfall data image 1 Soulik Rainfall data image 2 Dorian
