GLOBE Observer invites you to take environmental observations that complement NASA satellite observations to help scientists studying Earth and the global environment. Version 1.0 includes GLOBE Clouds, which allows you to photograph clouds and record sky observations and compare them with NASA satellite images. Future versions of GLOBE Observer will add additional tools for you to use as a citizen environmental scientist.
By using the GLOBE Observer app, you are joining the GLOBE community and contributing important scientific data to NASA and GLOBE, your local community, and students and scientists worldwide. The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is an international science and education program that provides students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to participate in data collection and the scientific process, and contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the Earth system and global environment.
