Organizing your AOI and Land Cover Observations
Hello! My name is Sophia and I live in San Diego, California. I
recently finished making all 37 observations for my AOI, which I did
over the course of exactly one week. I took observations almost every
day, spreading out my data-collecting, which I recommend if you start
well before your data deadline so you don’t get too burnt out!
To start, I generated my AOI grid. Make sure to look at your grid
in satellite view to ensure that the vast majority of the
points are accessible. Zoom into each point to see ...

🌤️ Mission Overview
The 2025 Aviation Weather Mission brings together Civil Air Patrol
cadets (ages 12–20) and senior members across the country to
contribute meaningful aviation weather data as part of a national
collaboration with NASA Earth Science. Participants record real-time
airport conditions, GLOBE Cloud observations, and aircraft details,
supporting satellite collocations provided by the NASA GLOBE Clouds
team at NASA Langley Research Center. These observations help ...

For my (Area of Interest) AOI project I collected my 37 points using
GLOBE observer, google maps, and a grid creator. These tools made
collecting my data points a lot easier.
To start I plotted where all my AOI points would be based on a
central point. Using CVS and GeoJson files I was able to get all 37
AOI points in that area. When choosing a center point for your grid
you should consider things that will affect your ability to take
photos before placing your center point. Originally I had placed my
AOI points in West Bloomfield but due to the large amount of private ...
