GLOBE Sponsors Thank Everyone Who Contributed to Goal of Reaching One Million Satellite Matches
The NASA GLOBE Clouds Team (NASA Langley Research Center; Hampton, Virginia, USA) achieved the goal of reaching one million satellite matches (“Match to a Million”).
“GLOBE has reached yet another milestone....1 million satellite matches....what a productive community effort and thanks to all who contributed,” GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) Director Dr. Tony Murphy said. “We know that the GLOBE community always reaches for the sky. This shows that they also count the clouds on the way! Thanks for all you do for GLOBE!”
Jessica Taylor, a physical scientist at NASA Langley Research Center (NASA LaRC), said, “We are excited that the GLOBE community has made so many observations, and that everyone is trying to match their observation time to when satellites are overhead. This helps provide a more complete picture of clouds in our atmosphere since the satellites give the perspective from space looking down, and GLOBE provides from the ground looking up. We can’t wait to see how many more observations the GLOBE community will continue to contribute. The long term record is incredibly important. Thank you to the GLOBE community for being such incredible cloud watchers!”
