"GLOBE student
observations of the atmosphere, surface water, soil moisture and
temperature, and vegetation all are impacted by seasonal changes
as Earth orbits the Sun. These seasonal changes illustrate the interconnectedness
among these aspects of our environment. Many important seasonal
phenomena and regional differences can be studied based on the environmental
and climatic parameters measured in the GLOBE program. Seasonal
change is a response to increasing or decreasing levels of solar
energy input, and GLOBE measurements are windows into these changing
energy levels. " - GLOBE, Atmosphere, The Big
