Announcing Land Cover Satellite Comparisons!
The GLOBE Observer team is excited to announce that GLOBE citizen
scientists submitting land cover observations will now receive
notifications comparing their observations with existing satellite
data. The new satellite comparison for land cover builds on the system
used to create cloud comparisons at NASA Langley Research Center.
These new collocated land cover observations are expected to raise greater awareness on how NASA and their interagency partners observe our changing home planet from space to inform societal needs. It will help every GLOBE volunteer see how their observations of the land fit in the larger space-based view and how they are participating in the process of science. We hope it encourages volunteers to continue collecting Earth system observations for GLOBE’s long-term environmental record.
