Our GLOBE Observer Connect on 11 December 2025 explored two new features of the GLOBE Observer app: practice mode and Clouds special features photos. Holli Kohl and Kristen Weaver shared what practice mode does, where to find it, and offered ideas about how to use it. They also showed how you can upload additional photos to GLOBE Clouds and share an exciting new pilot project that uses Clouds special features photos. You can learn more about the new features in “Try it out” with the Latest GLOBE Observer Update and the data collection project in Help Scientists Study Blowing Snow.
