Climate scientists need your help classifying over 30 years of tropical cyclone satellite imagery – enter the Cyclone Center.
Using an innovative, specially designed website, the crowd will will guide users through a process to analyze a specific hurricane image and answer questions, using a simplified technique for estimating the maximum surface wind speed of tropical cyclones.
About the effort… CycloneCenter.org is a web-based interface that enables the public to help analyze the intensities of past tropical cyclones around the globe. The global intensity record contains uncertainties caused by differences in analysis procedures around the world and through time. Patterns in storm imagery are best recognized by the human eye, so scientists are enlisting the public. Interested volunteers will be shown one of nearly 300,000 satellite images.
They will answer questions about that image as part of a simplified technique for estimating the maximum surface wind speed of tropical cyclones
