For our project, we had planned on participating in Meteon Network’s project, an international organization that aims to map out the weather of the world and we planned to record New York City’s weather on a daily basis.  We planned on entering the data into an online database which will map out the weather changes over a period time over 400 nations worldwide. I, along with Sudipta, are in charge of the technological aspect of our project and would be the group members in charge of inputting the data that we collected into this international database. However, when I tried to register for the site, I failed; Sudipta tried as well, but had no success either. Therefore, during the week we had to change the Citizen Science Project that we would be participating in.

I believe, as of now, that we will be doing a project called iSeeChange: The Almanac, for our group project. This project’s goal to “uncover how extreme climate changes affect daily life in America.” This project is a discussion through multimedia about how climate changes affect our lives. Through this project, we will be sharing our weekly observations about the change in weather on TheAlmanac.org. I think that our visits to the airport and Central Park will still be applicable to this new Citizen Science Project. I think these trips will coincide well with the discussion that takes place on the website we will be posting on, especially the trip to the airport as we talk with employees to see how the weather affects the departure of the planes. We know that the climate determines whether a flight will depart or arrive and we hope to learn what determines whether a flight will take off or not. We still plan on taking pictures everyday, perhaps one or two a day of the weather and then post about what observations about the changes in weather we see each week. I have already registered for the website and there were no problems. Hopefully, we will make our observations about climate, take pictures, and contribute to the website starting next week.
