October 2019 FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2019, HERE ARE THE TOP MOST ACTIVE GLOBE TREES AROUND THE GLOBE TEACHER/STUDENT RESEARCH CAMPAIGN PARTICIPANTS (EXTERNAL TO THE NASA/GLOBE TEAM) TAKING AT LEAST 10 MEASUREMENTS FOR TREE HEIGHT, LAND COVER, AND GREENINGS MEASUREMENTS FOR THE TREES AROUND THE GLOBE STUDENT RESEARCH CAMPAIGN! THE MAPS REPRESENT THE TOP STUDENT/CAMPAIGN-BASED MEASUREMENT COUNTRIES FOR EACH OF THE THREE MEASUREMENTS. TREE HEIGHTS (1,341 Total Measurements/Observations from 608 locations) Data Measurement Champions A. Majkut from GLOBE Poland with...

Story published on https://spaceweather.com/ on 10/29/2019. A sharable version of this story is available here. You can also look at Realtime Sprite Photo Gallery. Image Credit - Chris Holmes.   This is the picture that captured everyone's attention! It is a photograph of a gigantic jet as observed by pilot Chris Holmes as he traveled at 35,000 ft over the Gulf of Mexico near the Yucatan Peninsula. He noticed the big thunderstorm (or cumulonimbus cloud) producing lots of lightning with sprites and jets.    Gigantic jets, sometimes...

Purple Skies observed Dallas, TX on October 27, 2019. Purple skies during sunsets and sunrises (blog explaining science) have been observed by our GLOBE participants! Thank you to all those sending in their observations and participating of the Fall Clouds Challenge!    Educator Angie Rizzi, part of the Science Education team at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA, created this lesson for teachers who want to use this event to talk about aerosols and sky color. The activity incorporates the Elementary GLOBE Sky Observers activity with photographs of the observed...

  Water- the world's most precious resource. All around the world, NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement mission is collected data on how much precipitation is falling to Earth. NASA has just released its newest and most comprehensive estimate of rain and snow covering nearly 20 years. Version 6 of NASA's IMERG -- the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) -- combines information from a constellation of satellites are operating in Earth orbit, at a given time, to estimate precipitation over the majority of the Earth's surface. This...

Since the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign focuses on students taking tree height measurements, then using that data, and data from others, to develop student research projects, being able to find that data easily is paramount to success. Did you know that the GLOBE Program made several tutorials to help you find your data on the GLOBE Visualization System and the Advanced Data Access Tool? The two tutorials below don't specifically discuss the tree height measurement, but rather serve as a guide to help you retrieve and access any type of GLOBE data your are seeking. ...

Olá Usuários do GLOBE!   Nesta postagem de blog, não vim falar sobre nenhum tipo de relatório ou dado Climático. (caso queira vizualizar utilize: https://observer.globe.gov/es/web/guest/apps/my-observations/60477439) Naverdade, vim falar sobre a data diferente que é o dia dos professores, Àqueles que são a raiz para qualquer conhecimento e ocupação que você tenha!   Porém, durante nossa época estudantil ou até mesmo diária, temos um "Raio Solar mais brilhante" ou então nossa Inspiração e até mesmo alguém que oudamos chamar de "Salva-Vidas" algumas vezes!   Pensando...

One of the essential principles of teaching climate change to students is to get across the message that it has consequences for human lives. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, students need to understand that the effects of climate change can already be seen and more consequences are expected. Teaching about climate change can be a challenge because if the facts are too alarming, it can lead to a denial of the warnings. It helps to bring the lesson as close to home as possible and to present positive ways to take action. Action projects and hands-on...

Picture by Jan Curtin @ Vail, AZ (https://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=156718) Raikoke Volcanic Eruption Have you noticed purple sunrises or sunsets where you live? Submit your photographs to GLOBE or GLOBE Observer, especially as we get ready to start the Fall Cloud Challenge: What's Up in Your Sky (Oct 15 - Nov 15, 2019)! People around the world have been noticing purple skies at dawn and at dusk, calling it the Raikoke Sunsets (see photographs submitted). The purple color is because of sulfurous gas that was launched into...
