Regional GLOBE Instrument and Equipment Suppliers for North America

These companies and groups offer instruments and equipment that can be used for taking GLOBE measurements. The GLOBE Program does not endorse any particular supplier, and will identify in a similar manner all companies believed to offer instruments required for GLOBE. A GLOBE logo next to a supplier's name indicates that their equipment meets GLOBE specifications. It is important that you contact any supplier without a logo that you are considering as a source for your school's instruments prior to ordering the instruments to verify that the instruments meet current GLOBE specifications (pdf).
