1. What is the "Biosphere measure" reading for this lab?

a) The rate of outgoing sunlight leaving Earth's surface.

b) The portion of Earth's surface covered by cloud relative to the portion of Earth not covered by cloud.

c) A measure of chlorophyll or greenness on land and in the oceans.

d) The amount of interaction between the hydrosphere, atmosphere and geosphere.

e) The combined land surface temperature and ocean surface temperature on Earth.

2. What is "insolation"?

a) The portion of Earth's surface covered by cloud relative to the portion of Earth not covered by cloud.

b) The combined land surface temperature and ocean surface temperature on Earth.

c) Solid or liquid particles that are suspended in the atmosphere.

d) A measure of chlorophyll or greenness on land and in the oceans.

e) The rate of incoming sunlight reaching Earth's surface.

3. What is the "total rainfall" measuring for this lab?

a) the vertical distribution of precipitation over the tropics in a latitudinal band between 35º North and South

b) Solid or liquid particles that are suspended in the atmosphere, which we describe as rainfall.

c) The portion of Earth's surface covered by cloud relative to the portion of Earth not covered by cloud.

d) The rate of incoming sunlight reaching Earth's surface, which reflects the amount of rain received.

e) The combined land surface temperature and ocean surface temperature on Earth.

f) A measure of chlorophyll or greenness on land and in the oceans based on the amount of rainfall.

4. With low precipitation, you would also expect to see...

a) high aerosols

b) low cloud fraction

c) low temperatures

d) high insolation
