Weather Protocol Bundle

Weather, is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place during a short period of time. It reflects atmospheric parameters like air temperature, air pressure, air humidity, precipitation, clouds, and the wind. Furthermore, it's directly related to the energy budget of a region. Because of this interrelationship, the weather is influenced by the region's land cover, which can both modulate the amount of solar radiation absorbed or reflected by the ground as well as affect the how much thermal radiation is emitted.

Weather varies around the world and changes over minutes, hours, days, and weeks. The majority of weather events take place in the troposphere, which is the section of Earth’s atmosphere that extends from ground-level to roughly 8-15 km in the air. Inside the GLOBE Weather Bundle, you can find GLOBE Protocols and datasets that will help you better understand how the weather interacts with the various Earth Spheres.
