Thank you so much for helping us complete the first batch of climate data from Greenland! We've just added eight new locations to the station metadata and temperature workflows, so there are tons of new old data to digitize! An update on the results is coming soon!

9 April 2024: One week since launch!

Hey everyone,

Thanks for joining this project! It has been a week, and we are making great progress through this first batch of data!

Right now, we have more than 850 volunteers onboard. Together, you have digitized nearly 3,000 pages of temperature records and metadata from 10 weather stations in Greenland. Fantastic job!

Also, thanks for the questions and feedback on the talk pages. It's much appreciated, and I will try to improve the task descriptions continuously.

I've done some initial processing on the data from the "Temperature, 8 a.m. workflow", and I have three charts to show our progress. Each dot represents a data point typed in by one of you over the past week. We will iron out outliers and odd-looking data later during the quality control phase.

As for the metadata, it is tricky to display that in a chart, but there is a lot of important information there. It will come in handy when we dive deeper into the data.

Keep it up, volunteers! We are on the right track.

Cheers, Johan
