Barometric Pressure
Protocol
Students use an aneroid barometer to measure barometric pressure in support of the Aerosols and Water Vapor Protocols.
​​​​​​​Protocols to help in completion of the main protocol.
Students install soil moisture sensors and temperature probes and connect them to a Davis Soil Moisture and Temperature Station. Data are logged every 15 minutes and periodically students transfer these data to a computer and report them to GLOBE.
Students log atmosphere data using a Davis automated weather station. A weather station is setup to measure and record atmospheric measurements at 15 minute intervals. These measurements are transferred to your school's computer and then submitted to GLOBE via email data entry.
Students log atmosphere data using a RainWise automated weather station. A weather station is setup to measure and record atmospheric measurements at 15 minute intervals. These measurements are transferred to your school's computer and then submitted to GLOBE via email data entry.
Students use an infrared thermometer (IRT) to measure the temperature of Earth's surface.
Students log atmosphere data using a WeatherHawk automated weather station. A weather station is setup to measure and record atmospheric measurements at 15 minute intervals. These measurements are transferred to your school's computer and then submitted to GLOBE via email data entry.
Step-by-step instructions for collection data according to the protocols.
Share your Davis Weather Station data with GLOBE via this simple 2 step process. (Updated 2023).
If you're switching to the "new way" to send your Davis data to GLOBE - be sure to stop sharing via the "old way". This guide walks you through the steps to avoid sending duplicate data to GLOBE. (Updated for 2023)
Sheets to be filled out during data collection.
Activities to help students learn more about the instruments and protocols.
Students draw a visualization and learn about all the design choices involved and how these choices affect what is communicated by the visualization.
Students use visualizations to explore the relation between elevation and temperature and begin learning how to make important patterns evident in visualizations.
