Did you know that clouds can both warm and cool our planet? Keeping an eye on clouds helps NASA study our climate. We need your help capturing data about clouds where you live! The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program invites you to take part in our upcoming Cloud Challenge: “Clouds in a Changing Climate.” There are two ways to contribute to this citizen science effort: (1) Submit your own cloud observations using The GLOBE Program’s GLOBE Observer app. (Remember to always be safe and follow local guidelines while observing.) If you can, try to make observations during satellite overpasses, and help us reach our goal of 20,000 satellite matches during the challenge! (2) You can also participate from the comfort of your home through NASA GLOBE CLOUD GAZE new window. Using this project on the Zooniverse online platform, you can identify cloud types and other phenomena in photos taken by GLOBE participants.  >>

This summer (or winter if you should live in the Southern Hemisphere) join GLOBE in the 2020 Community Cloud Challenge: Science is Better Together. This year there are a variety of ways for the public to participate as a community and build skills as a cloud observer.  >>

This virtual training will teach research scientists about GLOBE data and how to access it. The Global Learning & Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is an international, NASA-sponsored program with more than 150 million Earth observations contributed by 35,000 schools and 150,000 citizen scientists in 120 countries. The virtual training includes demonstrations of GLOBE’s free online data access and visualization tools. Training is 60 minutes. No prior knowledge or experience with GLOBE required.  >>
