Lab Exercise Two: Climatic Classification and Polar Climates

Friday March 7th. 2003:  Lab exercise day

Access the Regional Climatology Lab Exercise One by  CLICKING THIS TEXT. Work on the lab during the time that I am absent.  On March 7th you should plan on attending class as normal.  Get into groups and complete Part I: Group Exercise and Answer.  This section of the lab contains 8 short answer questions.  I prefer that you answer these questions in groups, but if you wish you may do it on your own.  The lab is due on March 12th, 2003. If for some reason you are unable to download this exercise, 15 hardcopies are located in my door-box at 321 Milne Library.
