This middle/junior high school computer activity asks students to look at solar infrared radiation (SIRS) data shortwave plots from a site in Oklahoma and to note differences in days and seasons. Suggested extensions are comparing the solar infrared radiation data to data from the millimeter wave cloud radar (MMCR) and exploring an interactive java applet on the radiation budget. This exercise is part of the Atmospheric Visualization Collection (AVC), which focuses on data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program.
