Jena is reading about the elevation.

Explanation:

Elevation is the altitude (height) above the sea level. The Florida being at the height of less than 100 feet is its elevation. The major factor that affects the climate of that region is its elevation. as the elevation increases i. e. the height of the place from sea level increases the temperature of that place lowers. For every 1 kilometer rise in elevation the temperature decreases by 6.5 degree Celsius. Hence, Jena is concerned about the elevation.
