Standard GLOBE Program Kits

These standard GLOBE kits represent a minimal, entry-level approach to gathering GLOBE data, and are based on the recommendations of the GLOBE program. While each kit is complete by GLOBE standards, items from this list can be purchased as a complete kit or individually. Each Standard Kit contains items that conform to and can be used to obtain and record some GLOBE data for a particular protocol:

• Atmosphere and Climate
• Hydrology
• Soil
• Land Cover/Biology
• Phenology

Alternatively, if you seek a more comprehensive solution, our own Forestry Suppliers' Advanced Study F.I.E.L.D. Kits™ include all items pertinent to the entire protocol for Atmosphere and Climate, Soil, and Hydrology.

The GLOBE program provides materials and infrastructure to support student inquiries in earth science. Further, GLOBE supplies the protocols and instrument specifications so that students can document consistent and valid measurements of the environment that are comparable with data collected by others around the world.

To make instrument selection easier, we've assembled complete lists of the equipment and quantities necessary to complete one GLOBE protocol, such as Atmosphere and Climate. In addition, optional items which are pertinent to a protocol are listed separately to assist in developing the most comprehensive solution for your needs. All items listed here are in compliance with or exceed the specifications set forth by GLOBE as necessary to collect scientifically valid data. Items from this list can be purchased individually, or as a complete Forestry Suppliers' Advanced Study F.I.E.L.D. Kit

Standard GLOBE Kit contents (as specified by GLOBE), found in the last three columns of this chart, indicate items which are available in either the Primary, Middle or Secondary GLOBE Standard Kits. Should your school already possess one of these GLOBE Kits, this chart will help identify those items which are needed to complete the protocol, but which are not included in the standard kit.
