CALIPSO - "Look at Data"

Benefits of CALIPSO – GLOBE Partnership:

The CALIPSO Satellite helps us better understand Earth's atmosphere. CALIPSO monitors clouds and aerosols, two Atmosphere Protocols in GLOBE. Through participating in CALIPSO activities, GLOBE students learn how NASA is improving our knowledge of Earth. Teachers and students can go to the Discussion Board to talk with the CALIPSO team about current events in aerosols or get ideas on classroom activities.

CALIPSO's outreach efforts are aimed at providing educational opportunities for teachers, K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as the general public. CALIPSO's outreach activities support "students as scientists" by providing educator professional development, student-scientist mentoring, curriculum resource development, and public outreach through collaborative mission efforts.
