GLOBE offers several options to contribute your observations to GLOBE’s open-source database. Participants can choose the method that best suits their needs, including website forms, a mobile app, and email. Contributing your environmental measurements to the database allows them to be used by GLOBE participants and researchers alike!

You can use GLOBE’s practice mode on both GLOBE Observer and the website to test entering and sending data to GLOBE. Data submitted through this mode will not be retained, but you can use it to try any protocol or data entry form. Look for the Practice User under your user settings in the forms and then select Switch User. Learn more.

Enter data online through the GLOBE Observer website. Measurements must be collected at defined sites with proper instrumentation and sorted by protocol to maintain data integrity.
Please note that the "old desktop forms" are still available for data entry but will be phased out soon.
The GLOBE Program’s app, GLOBE Observer, is a great tool for cataloging data about sky conditions, mosquito breeding sites, ground cover, and tree height. Available for both iOS and Android devices, the app is open to participants of all ages from GLOBE countries around the world.
Submit data directly to the GLOBE database by email. Emails will be processed by a computer program and then uploaded into GLOBE's systems. Since this is an automated process, be sure to follow the required formatting for email submissions.
