We are looking for teachers who are interested in participating in
DataStreme Atmosphere, a teacher enhancement program of the American
Meteorological Society and supported by the National Science Foundation.
DataStreme Atmosphere is available to teachers for all grade levels (K-12)

information links. Satellite and weather radio receivers include ever more
technology for the classroom.
