It was great seeing all of the data that students collected for the Urban Heat Island Intensive Observation Period in December 2024. I decided to look at some of the data using a graphing tool called Codap from the Concord Consortium. It is easy to use and makes some neat graphs fast.  First, I downloaded all of the surface temperature data from the GLOBE website for December using the ADAT system (Advanced Data Access Tool). There are other ways to get data from the GLOBE data base including the Vis system and API.  Second, I brought the data into Codap and clicked on ...

El 25 de septiembre de 2015, los líderes mundiales adoptaron un conjunto de objetivos globales para erradicar la pobreza, proteger el planeta y asegurar la prosperidad para todos como parte de una nueva agenda de desarrollo sostenible. Cada objetivo tiene metas específicas que deben haberse alcanzado para el año 2030. Para alcanzar estas metas, todo el mundo tiene que hacer su parte: los gobiernos, el sector privado, la sociedad civil y personas como nosotros (ONU). Es por esta razón que el encuentro de hoy tuvo como propósito principal establecer con cuales de los 17 ...

Desde ayer 05-09-2024, se han registrado enormes incendios  desde Brasil hasta la Argentina, observables por satélite,  de no tomarse los correctivos  con el pulmón de la Amazonas corre el riesgo de desaparecer, poniendo en peligro la poca naturaleza que le queda al planeta. Estudios citados por el medio MetSul de metereología de Brasil,  indican que el humo puede influir en la formación de descargas eléctricas y hay que tomar en cuenta, para estudios avanzados que los eventos se presentan en zonas de la Anomalía del Atlántico Sur,  que sin duda juega un papel en el tiempo ...

Background I received my formal training on GLOBE Atmosphere protocols, particularly cloud observation, in the summer of 2011. In 2016, the GLOBE Program launched the GLOBE Observer (GO) app, designed for volunteer science. The GO app is more user-friendly and focuses on specific observations anyone with a smartphone can make. The GLOBE Program is structured and education-focused, targeting students and educators, while the GO app is intuitive and accessible to the general public. Both contribute valuable data to the scientific community and enhance public understanding of ...

El paso del huracán Beryl, por el Caribe,  no solo ha afectado Islas al norte del continente,  también afectó a Venezuela,  desde ahí hasta Colombia y parte de Brasil, por impacto indirecto, registrado por los satélites del Goes 16-  Este,  en sus diferentes bandas,  con notables lluvias e inundaciones. Día 05-07-2024 , no cabe duda que Beryl plantea serios interrogantes,  en la física de la atmósfera de la tierra, en la época actual, desde cambios significativos en la gravedad de la tierra, que pueda estar afectando la presión atmosférica por zonas, ...

The first time I have ever witnessed a solar eclipse was on March 29, 2006, in the southwestern part of Nigeria. As an undergraduate student who majored in Geography, I was curious to know how the celestial event would happen. Indeed, I was able to witness the partial solar eclipse which was an awe-inspiring celestial event, but was not opportune to study the effect of the unique phenomena on my local environment. When I read online late last year that the total solar eclipse will pass through Toledo, Ohio in the United States where I reside presently, I thought this might be a rare ...
