Title: Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Data Available on the WWW
Description:
Abstract:
GLOBE is a worldwide network of students, teachers and scientists working
together to study and understand the global environment.
Students (K-12) conduct and array of measurements and observations at their
schools and share their data via the Internet with other students and
scientists around the world. Teachers instruct students on how to take
measurements, and help students understand the relevance of their observations.
Scientists analyze the data in conjunction with information obtained from
other sources (e.g. satellites and models) to help develop a better
understanding of Earth systems.
Data are available via for download in tabular form (ASCII), as shapefiles, and
as rendered maps via a Web Mapping Service (WMS).
The data include:
Atmosphere
