Probe Data Set
This data shows the relationship between wind velocity and time, pressure
and altitude:
Time is in seconds and is elapsed after probe entry (defined as 450
km above 1 bar)
Pressure is in bars
Altitude is in kilometers and is probe altitude relative to 1 bar level
Velocity is velocity of zonal (west to east) wind

You may wish to have students import this data into a spreadsheet and/or
data analysis program, analyze and interpret it. Some questions you may
wish to pose are:
1. What is the relationship between wind and the other factors?
2. Do some data-pairs show a pattern? Are there some pairs that don't
show a pattern?
3. Using this data, what hypotheses can you come up with to explain
the numbers?
4. What other data might be helpful in testing out your hypotheses?
