Photography + Clouds = Citizen Science

Image
Pictures of clouds are very popular on social networks, Instagram, photo-sharing sites. There are 84 Mio posts with hashtag  #clouds  on Instagram and 168 Mio pictures with hashtag  #sky.   With NASA Globe and Globe Observer app, Sky photography and Citizen Science can be combined.  Recording sky and clouds observations is technically simple. There is a minor data entry on high, mid and low level clouds required before pictures of clouds can be taken. Altogether up to 6 pictures can be recorded: North, South, West, East, Up and Down. Once observation is done, measurements and pictures shall be checked and submitted to the NASA server. These can be then publicly visible on the NASA GLOBE Visualization System:  https://vis.globe.gov/GLOBE/ Training materials to identify cloud types, step-by-step instructions to record measurements are provided via Globe Observer website (1) and the app (2). Program updates, events, webinars are also published @NASA...

Hands-On Data Science Education https://www.kaggle.com/learn/overview Kaggle  is a platform for  predictive modelling  and  analytics  competitions in which statisticians and data miners compete to produce the best models for predicting and describing the datasets uploaded by companies and users. This  crowdsourcing  approach relies on the fact that there are countless strategies that can be applied to any predictive modelling task and it is impossible to know beforehand which technique or analyst will be most effective.
