Keep your PACE observations coming!
The PACE Clouds Challenge may be over, but scientists working on NASA’s PACE satellite mission are still comparing your ground-based observations of clouds to PACE data.
Take a Clouds observation within a 5-minute window of PACE passing overhead and help NASA assess how well the PACE satellite’s data processing is detecting cloud edges and total cloud cover.

We have some new and exciting changes coming to the GLOBE website!
As GLOBE shifts to working more closely with NASA scientists on collecting ground observations for missions, we are making changes to the GLOBE.gov website. As we prepare for the transition from GLOBE.gov to NASA.gov, we are reorganizing the website to make room for new content. Already available to explore is the new Ground to Satellite section, which gives insight into the different NASA missions your observations are contributing to.
Check out all the new and upcoming changes at tinyurl.com/globe-updates.
If you haven’t already, send in your PACE Clouds Challenge data before next week!
Next week, certificates will be sent to volunteers who submitted observations during the optimal 5-minute observation window and completed that observation with all six photos.
If you opted out from GLOBE Observer communications, we are unable to email you your certificate, so be sure to check "Yes" to opt-in to "Receive Scientists Requests for Additional Information." Tips on how to find opt-in settings can be found in this video tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=62zRHMCm…

#QuickGLOBETip for making GLOBE Clouds observations!
How opaque are the clouds? Tip #11: Look at the middle of the clouds instead of the edges to determine whether the clouds are opaque, translucent, or transparent.

Today, the 31st of October, 2026, marks the end of eight years of the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign. The campaign, which commenced on the 15th of September 2018, in parallel with the launch of the NASA Ice,Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 or ICESat-2, focused on bringing the science and research of tree height, land cover, and greenings (spring green-up and autumn green-down) to students and educators around the world.
With science presentations from NASA scientists to university and student researchers to educators in the formal and informal education venues, the campaign was designed to actively apply a combination of ground-based and space-based science to help participants understand our dynamically changing planet, from a local to a global level.
Over the past eight years, the campaign gained and sustained active members from 70 countries, held 98 monthly science and application webinars, with an additional 42 specialized regional webinars, held 25 data-rich Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs), and an amazing 169 student research projects, related to the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign, were submitted to the GLOBE Program IVSS/VSS during the campaign. To learn more about the campaign, please visit globe.gov/web/trees-around-t…!
ALT There are four global maps with colored dots (brown and three shades of green). There is also white text and three boxes with white text on a black background. There are five logos and an blue and tan backgrounds.

Help NASA scientists improve agriculture data by taking Land Cover observations of fields and crops!
The GLOBE Agriculture Campaign is launching soon. Participants in regions where the growing season is beginning can contribute Land Cover observations of farm fields through March 2027. Your observations will support three NASA missions—NISAR, SWOT, and EMIT—by providing ground-based data and helping scientists verify and improve satellite observations of crops, soil, vegetation, and surface water.

Did you know that we are currently experiencing a global phenomenon called El Niño, which is rarer than a solar eclipse and more powerful than any single storm system? This fall and winter, NASA has satellites that are tracking how the current El Niño flips trade winds, redistributes ocean heat, scrambles rain patterns, and raises sea surface height across parts of the Pacific. Learn all about how NASA is tracking the current at El Niño tinyurl.com/yc2f2utz! For instance, in the two images you see here, you can see the differences in sea surface height, along the equator, from October 2 in a non-El Niño year (2025-bottom) and an El Niño year (2026-top).
ALT Two satellite data images of the earth centered around the equator. There are multiple colors from blue to yellow to orange to red to gray. It is showing sea surface height in flux (sea surface height anomaly) on October 2 2025 and October 2 2026.
