#CrowdCloudLIVE After each episode's WORLD premiere in April, show host, producer, and people seen on the show participated in post-premiere roundtable discussions. Viewers like you listened in, asked questions, and were able to dive deeper into the power of Citizen Science.

Watch the recorded Facebook Live events now. Discover more about how Citizen Science is revolutionizing the ways we gather, analyze, and utilize the data that fuels scientific research, discovery, and community action.

GOAL:

Classify tropical cyclones for a database to help predict the nature of cyclones.

These tropical cyclone images will help take your mind off your own personal storm. Scientists don’t fully understand tropical storms, particularly wind speeds, which makes it hard to determine the impact of climate change on their fierce nature. Infrared satellite images hold the key to unlocking answers about the strength of cyclones, but researchers need you to turn that key! Your role is to classify satellite images using the Dvorak Technique, which involves answering a few questions about what you’re looking at. Humans can do this much better than even the best computers! Your involvement goes towards developing a new database of information for cyclones, so climatologists can better predict future cyclone behavior and intensity.
