CycloneCenter Participation for October through December 2014

Happy New Year! Well, 2014 ended with a bang for CycloneCenter.org. December ended up being our busiest month since

June 2014. It has been a while (October) since we updated the participation information and a lot has happened.

October was highlighted by the appearance of user ‘Stephen Morley‘ who hopefully wasn’t a flash in the pan, having classified 4665 storm images! He did more in October than all our classifications in November! In fact, he set a new record for most classifications in one month! If you’re out there Stephen, please come back!

November was a quiet month with lower than average participation.

December was particularly busy due to a guest post for Jeff Masters over on Weather Underground (thanks, Jim). We also had our most new users in December (578) since June as well. We also welcome volunteerguy to the top 10 board!

For October 2014, we had 10,048 classifications of 566 storms from 413 citizen scientists.

For November 2014, we had 4529 classifications of 510 storms from 363 citizen scientists.

For December 2014, we had 12,970 classifications of 809 storms from 611 citizen scientists.

Thank you to all for making CycloneCenter.org a great success!!
