Looming from the parking lot at Skyline High School stands a WeatherHawk automated weather station which will collect: rain rate and total rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, as well as wind speed and direction.
The weather station will enable Skyline High School students to compare data collected by the automated station against data collected with hand-held sensors. In so doing, they will be able to explore a variety of measurement issues such as calibration, precision, accuracy and units of measurement while learning about the atmosphere. |

Dr. Cohen, (second from left in the photo) of the Berkeley Atmospheric Carbon Observing Network (BEACON) team, treated Oakland High School's Environmental Science Academy to a presentation on climate change and greenhouse gas emissions; the BEACON project, which is placing highly sensitive emission-monitoring, shoe-box size sensors throughout the East Bay; and careers in science!
The ground-breaking BEACON project being implemented by Dr. Cohen and his graduate students is continuously measuring carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone levels as well as temperature, pressure and humidity, streaming the information to the Web through the site. The http://beacon.berkeley.edu. The site will depict an accurate, highly resolved picture of real-time pollutant concentrations in the region--something never done before--with the aim of inspiring communities to think about local actions to change the CO2 they emit.
GLOBE CAP is honored to have Dr. Cohen's group as a partner! |

Teacher training at Berkeley High School prepared Berkeley High School's Green Academy to become the sixth school to join the GLOBE CAP project. In this picture, teachers are learning how to determine cloud type and percentage coverage for each quadrant of the sky. The teachers are standing back-to-back with their arms extended up and touching. Each teacher is facing one of the four cardinal directions – north, south, east, west. |

In April, researcher Dr. Ronald Cohen and his students mounted an atmospheric sensor on the roof of Skyline High school to monitor greenhouse gases. This sensor will allow Dr. Cohen to take ongoing readings of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, as part of the BEACON project, funding by the National Science Foundation. GLOBE CAP students will be able to compare their GLOBE readings with those of Dr. Cohen's sensors, enabling rich learning in data collection, measurement approaches, data interpretation, and atmospheric science. Additional sensors are being placed in other locations throughout the East Bay of California. |
