(April 1-30)
The Climate and Land Cover Intensive Observing Period is a research effort between GLOBE schools and climate scientists to improve land cover classifications for climate models. Using GLOBE land cover protocols, students take photography and classify representative land cover areas near their schools and upload this data to the GLOBE database. The data can be used by students to compare land cover around the world and will be used by scientists to improve land cover classifications for climate models.
