Still more news about GLOBE

A GLOBE qualified weather shelter and rain collector. The weather shelter can contain various instruments, such as a maximum/minimum/current air temperature thermometer and a hygrometer. Photograph by Forrest M. Mims III. Click image to enlarge.

If the news articles about GLOBE environmental observations in this week's issue of The Citizen Scientist don't interest you, then you might want to visit the GLOBE web site to view all their measurement protocols.

There are now more than 50 protocols, all of which have been carefully designed by professional scientists, university educators or serious citizen scientists.

A list of protocols available as of this writing is given below. For complete details, visit the protocols web site, where you can download a PDF file for each protocol.
