Citizen scientists asked to identify clouds in satellite data for climate research
Friday, 23 May 2025 12:57
CloudCatcher, a citizen science program developed by STFC RAL Space, is inviting the public to help improve the accuracy of cloud detection in satellite imagery. The project plays a vital role in enhancing how scientists measure Earth's surface temperatures from space by verifying when clouds obstruct the satellite's view.
