	Global Fire Monitoring This newest dataset is now available for August-September 1999 with monthly updates to be added on a continuous basis. These data, summarized for each month, are currently being used to monitor natural and man-made fires in the Tropical and Sub-tropical zones. Forest and savanna fires in the tropics are known to affect both regional and global climate, ecology, biodiversity, and air quality. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Observatory/Datasets/fires.trmm.html

	GLOBE - Cloud Protocols Online Teaching Module http://gpdi.globe.gov/advance The interactive online teaching module was designed for teachers and trainers, but can be adapted to other audiences. This new approach explores the science content behind cloud and contrail identification, simulates taking protocol measurements, demonstrates data entry, and data analysis as well as provides practical information about inquiry-based classroom implementation. The online teaching module takes about 30 minutes to complete and is an example of modules being developed for all GLOBE protocols. The Cloud Protocols Online Teaching Module requires the free Flash Player 7 and an Internet browser that is compatible with Flash Player 7 to view the module. Use this online refresher to renew your knowledge about taking cloud and contrail observations with your students!
