GLOBE Observer - Clouds

I was recently reading the March/April 2023 issue of "Science Scope" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the "Scope on the Skies" column, written by Bob Riddle. He wrote an article entitled, "Castles in the Sky." Bob jokingly talks about people suffering from Pareidolia, a human condition that has us seeing familiar patterns or images as we look around us. This, of course, is not a serious condition, but helps to explain the things we see when looking at puffy cumulus clouds. This provided a lead into the citizen science project of studying clouds using the GLOBE Observer app, provided by the GLOBE Program.
