Space fans around the world can help analyze data collected by the Mars Climate Sounder.
, and more. It’s an advantageous approach for research that involves looking for features that are too hidden, or too complicated, for a computer to identify. “Humans have evolved over millennia to be really good at pattern recognition and filtering out extraneous information,” says Haverford College astronomer Karen Masters, the principal investigator of Galaxy Zoo, the project that led to the Zooniverse’s creation. “But it’s still relatively easy to fool a computer.
The Cloudspotting team doesn’t expect the volunteers to get through all of the data available from the climate sounder, taken over eight Martian years. Rather, once a few representative years have been analyzed, Slipski hopes to be able to use the cloud characterizations to train his algorithm to achieve more reliable results. Eventually, this would provide one of the most comprehensive, long-term datasets that scientists can use to learn about the atmospheric past and present of the Red Planet.
