The purpose of this project is to determine how clouds influence the weather. The hypothesis states: If clouds significantly influence weather patterns, can clouds' composition, formation, and movement be reliable indicators for forecasting weather conditions in the upcoming days? I used Globe protocols and other tools to collect and measure data. Although the project didn't support the hypothesis, it provided valuable data for other projects. This experiment was conducted throughout September 2024 and only measured the fall, leaving other seasons open to research and possibly different results.
