The GLOBE Program - Global Learning and Education to Benefit the Environment

GLOBE is a worldwide, hands-on primary and secondary school-based science and education program.

We are very pleased that GLOBE has developed a new protocol for using Davis weather stations. This new protocol allows students to use a Davis weather station to collect and analyze continuous weather data for their school. This data can then be transferred to the school's computer then submitted to GLOBE via email.Get details here.
