00:00:00,431 --> 00:00:03,999
The Sun drives many processes in Earth’s atmosphere.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,146
As the Sun rises and sets, it warms Earth’s surface at different intensities.

4
00:00:09,146 --> 00:00:15,199
These changes in heat lead to changes in the clouds, especially the types of clouds. 

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,347
To study these changes, we need observations at different times

6
00:00:19,347 --> 00:00:24,085
throughout the day, week, month, and year from the same location. 

7
00:00:24,086 --> 00:00:30,032
Changes can even be observed during astronomical events like a total solar eclipse.

8
00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:37,266
Use the GLOBE Program’s GLOBE Observer app to observe how clouds are changing.

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,746
Hi, my name is Ashlee Autore, and I’m a scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center.

10
00:00:43,746 --> 00:00:47,896
I’ll be analyzing the GLOBE Eclipse data looking for changes in the atmosphere.

11
00:00:47,896 --> 00:00:51,329
You can help me by taking measurements of clouds and air temperature

12
00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:54,809
for an hour or so before AND after [maximum] eclipse.

13
00:00:55,833 --> 00:01:00,753
Participate in the GLOBE Eclipse Challenge: Clouds and Our Solar-Powered Earth 

14
00:01:00,753 --> 00:01:05,199
from March 15th through April 15th, 2024.
