When collecting data for the kite flight data sheets, we suggest that data is collected using GLOBE protocols.  For more information on the protocols, please visit:

Air Temperature

Wind Direction

Wind Speed -- No GLOBE Protocol

Humidity

Cloud Cover

Barometric Pressure

Time -- If possible, all measurements should be taken +/- one hour to Solar Noon

Study Site

*** Please note:  When you refer to GLOBE Protocols, part of the protocol recommends collecting the data +/- one hour solar noon.  But when collecting flight mission data, it is imperative to collect the data at the time of launch and disregard the solar noon reference.

Here are some apps related to GLOBE data collection. Click on each screen to access the app.
