Collaborations with CIRA

How are these GLOBE students helping . .	. . scientists to interpret this satellite data?
Lakeview ES, AZ	85 GHz SSM/I emissivity

Questions to ask:

• What is a correlation?
• What is the relationship between irrigated areas (green Landsat Class) and circled 85 GHz surface emittance?
• Could these patterns be due to something else?
