GLOBE Surface Temperature Protocol - Development of a Unique Data Set to Study the Earth Webinar Recording Now Available
In case you missed it, the GLOBE Surface Temperature Protocol - Development of a Unique Data Set to Study the Earth webinar recording is now available!
The GLOBE surface temperature protocol was developed by Kevin Czajkowski and his team at the University of Toledo from an NSF grant in 1999. The protocol grew out of efforts to validate surface temperature collected from satellites and the reduction in the cost of instruments. Thousands of students around the world have taken surface temperature observations over the years focused around the Urban Heat Island Campaign and now Intensive Observation Period. In this webinar, Dr. C discusses how the adoption of surface temperature by teachers has changed over time and the type of student and scientist projects that have been completed.
