GLOBE Observer invites you to make observations of the Earth around you. Observations you collect and submit with this app are designed to help scientists better understand satellite data collected by NASA from space. The current version includes four capabilities. GLOBE Clouds allows observers to make regular observations of the Earth’s cloud cover and compare them to NASA satellite observations. With GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper, users locate mosquito habitats, observe and identify mosquito larvae, and reduce the potential threat of mosquito borne disease. GLOBE Land Cover is designed to allow users to document what is on the land (trees, grass, buildings, etc.). GLOBE Trees asks users to estimate a tree’s height by taking pictures of trees with their device and answering a few questions. Additional capabilities may be added. By using the GLOBE Observer app, you are joining the GLOBE community and contributing important scientific data to NASA and GLOBE, your local community, and students and scientists worldwide. The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program is an international science and education program that provides students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to participate in data collection and the scientific process, and contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the Earth system and global environment.
Horrible
You can't use any password with this because it always says invalid. IT'S NOT!!
Cmon NASA
I am a nasa employee doing outreach. We had a class of middle/ high schoolers, and nobody could get this app to work. Multiple devices. If you aren’t going to support this, please pull it. Disappointed but not surprised.
Iphone doesn’t work at all
This app doesn’t even open on Iphone, how is that OK?
Will not update
Can't review it, it won't work.
L
It logged me out and then told me the password they literally gave me was wrong then said my accounts locked like what 😹 I’m just trying to graduate and get my hours but this app is annoyingly slow
One of my favorite apps
A really well thought out way to use the power of mobile devices to take meaningful measurements of my local environment. And get feedback from NASA! (For the Clouds module). Fun and easy.
Works well mostly
I’ve been using the app for cloud observations for about 2 months. It consistently works well and smoothly for the most part with easy to follow guidelines on making the observations. I am reducing the rating by 2 stars: 1 off for the cloud observation chart. I use an iPhone. When I try to open the chart, the cloud photos flash in their assigned boxes for an instant and then disappear. And 1 off for the fact that I tried to contact support twice about 2 issues and only got automated replies which were not helpful.
The GLOBE Observer app now includes the Clouds, Mosquito Habitat Mapper, Land Cover and Trees tools in eleven different languages. This latest release also includes various bug fixes and enhancements, improved compass performance, and support for off-line data collection.
