MY NASA DATA Correlation of Variables by Graphing Sue Batson
MND LAS data • Monthly Surface Clear-Sky Temperature • Monthly Surface All-Sky LW Downward Flux • Jan 1994 - Jan 2002 • Two variable overlay of time plot
Correlation • Are these two variables related? • How does each seem to change with time? • Plot them against one another.
MND LAS Data • Monthly Snow Cover • Monthly Surface All-Sky LW Downward Flux • Jan 1994 - Jan 2002 • Two variable overlay of time plot
Correlation • Are these two variables related? • How does each seem to change with time? • Plot them against one another. • Data will be different if snow cover is 0%.
MND LAS Data • Monthly Precipitation • Monthly Surface All-Sky LW Downward Flux • Jan 1994 - Jan 2002 • Two variable overly of time plot
Correlation • Are these two variables related? • How does each seem to change with time?
Student Practice • You will choose two variables. • Prepare an overlay plot. • Make a prediction about the appearance of a graph made by plotting one variable vs. the other. • Graph the variables. • Draw a conclusion about the graph’s appearance.
