NASA Invites You to Become a Citizen Scientist During US Total Solar Eclipse! In order to participate, first download the GLOBE Observer app. The app will instruct you on how to make the observations. Second, you will need to obtain a thermometer to measure air temperature. “No matter where you are in North America, whether it’s cloudy, clear or rainy, NASA wants as many people as possible to help with this citizen science project,” said Kristen Weaver, deputy coordinator for the project. “We wa

When seeing the surface of the #clouds in a storm isn't enough, we turn to satellites like NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement mission. The GPM core observatory flew over the United States northeast coast during a snow storm on April 1, 2017. This snow storm delivered up to 18 inches of snow in some parts of New England. The GPM Core Observatory carries two instruments that show the location and intensity of rain and snow, which defines a crucial part of the storm structure – and how it will

Did you know that different types of clouds can indicate different things about the weather? For example, high altitude cirrus clouds, which are made of ice crystals, often form in advance of a warm front when air masses meet at high levels. This type of cloud can also indicate the weather may be changing. For our #FridayFeature, here are some examples of cirrus clouds submitted recently to GLOBE by volunteer scientists. Remember to always follow guidelines from your local officials and only par

For our #FridayFeature today, we’re focusing on stratus clouds, low-level layered clouds that are uniform in appearance, whether white or (quite often) gray in color. These clouds may not be as photogenic as the puffy white cumulus, but still give us useful information about the weather, as they tend to form when the atmospheric conditions are calm and stable. While stratus clouds often don’t produce rainfall, if they do, it’s likely to be only a light drizzle (in which case we’d term them nimbo

Clouds are the largest variable controlling Earth’s atmospheric temperature and climate. Any change in global cloud cover may contribute to long-term changes in Earth’s climate.

Clouds increase the amount of solar radiation reflected back to space (a cooling effect) and decrease the amount of thermal infrared radiation escaping to space (a warming effect). The Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellite can measure radiative influences of clouds. The first CERES instrument was launched in December of 1997 aboard NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM), CERES instruments are collecting observations on three separate satellite missions, incl

Did you know that #clouds have an effect on Earth's surface temperature? #NASA has released a dramatic visualization that shows Earth's global temperature anomalies from 1880 to 2017. The effect of clouds on surface temperature is the net effect of three variables. 1. Their reflecting sunlight from their top side, 2. Their greenhouse effect of absorbing and reradiating downward the thermal radiation of the Earth's surface, 3. Their reflecting back down the thermal radiation from Earth's surface.

Changes in heat lead to changes in the clouds, especially the types of clouds. To study these changes, you can make observations with The GLOBE Program’s GLOBE Observer app at different times throughout the day, week, month, and year from the same location. A good example of change are the changes that can occur rapidly like during the recent solar eclipse. 15 April 2024 is the last day for participation in the GLOBE Eclipse Challenge: Clouds and Our Solar-Powered Earth , but your observations a

A group of scientists and pilots conducted a series of science flights over Western Colorado for a new five-year NASA-led airborne mission called SnowEx. SnowEx is exploring better ways to measuring how much water is stored in snow-covered regions with the goal of eventually creating a future snow satellite mission. More accurate snow measurements will help scientists and decisions-makers better understand our world’s water supply and better predict floods and droughts. The scientists rely on gr

Thank you to everyone who participated in the GLOBE Eclipse Challenge: Clouds and Our Solar Powered Earth! We received over 22,000 cloud observations from 15 March to 15 April, including over 7,000 on just the day of the total solar eclipse itself, 08 April 2024. Your observations will contribute to our planned investigations of how the eclipse affected the temperature and clouds differently in different climate regions and land cover types.

Surface conditions such as snow and ice, standing water, or muddy ground can affect how a satellite sees the land surface. This is one of the reasons we ask volunteer scientists to report those conditions. This week, we’ll take a look at a few examples of surface conditions visible in photos, such as down photos in clouds observations or directional photos from land cover observations. #FridayFeature Remember to always follow guidelines from your local officials and only participate in GLOBE act
