By enrolling citizen scientists like yourself, this App crowdsources geo-located and real-time data on the presence and density of fog. The data that you record will be uploaded to a server in Kathmandu and augmented with surface and satellite observations to construct a complete picture of the persistent fog that plagues the Indo-Gangetic Plain and Brahmaputra Basin every winter.
A few times each day, you will be prompted for some simple information about the current weather conditions at your location. Please join hundreds of citizen scientists from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan to help researchers in those countries understand the causes and remedies of the winter fog.
Become a STAR participant by submitting at least 3 data points per day between 5 AM and 10 PM. See if you can attain MEDALLION and GOLD status. Citizen scientists who provide accurate and regular data throughout the winter will receive a printable certificate.
This App is a product of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD).
