In the GLOBE Clouds protocol and GLOBE Observer app, you can report if your sky is “overcast” or “obscured”. But what’s the difference? Below are some tips to help! All the photographs featured were collected by observers just like you - Thank you! I found “obscured” and “overcast” very confusing at first, but when I understood what they meant, things made much more sense. Let’s start by...

The NASA GLOBE Clouds team at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, USA has released a documentation on how cloud observations submitted through the GLOBE Program are collocated with satellite data from various Earth-observing platforms, a process referred to as a satellite match. This document is a guide to how the ground-satellite collocation or satellite match is done by the team.


Check out NASA Langley's newly released story about the recent GLOBE North American Regional Meeting, hosted at NASA Langley, that included a day of training in clouds and aerosols. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/langley/cirrius-ly-cool-science-at-nasa-langley GLOBE Participants practice using sun photometers at the GLOBE NARM at NASA Langley.
