Old Weather
The site uses weather observations made by ships to contribute to climate projections. The site does say that your information will be used to track past ship and tell the stories of the people on board.
Pro: The website layout and colors really work well together. I think the visuals on the homepage that show you exactly how you do the work on the site are very helpful. The drive to becoming a captain of a ship will make you want to keep coming back. They have a tutorial section.
Cons: Login is required.

I also liked the layout of the site, the blog and forum were updated. There's also a great youtube video they've added that says why the work is so important. This project is definitely romanticized and creates a following by personalizing the logs and weaving a story for volunteers to follow. Also like the name levels
