Crowdsourced Science For Space Monitoring

摘要

The CAMALIOT app can turn your smartphone into an instrument for crowdsourced science. If you were to leave it by your window each night with your satnav positioning turned on, your phone would record small variations in satellite signals, gathering data for machine learning analysis of meteorology and space weather patterns.The app is suitable for more than 50 models in the smartphone market that come equipped with dual frequency satnav receivers.As well as helping to create new Earth and space weather forecasting models, participants are also in with the chance to win prizes including new phones and Amazon vouchers.This four-month 'citizen science' campaign runs until the end of July.
