Eclipse Data - GLOBE Observer
GLOBE Eclipse Data
Before major solar eclipses, GLOBE Observer adds a special limited time tool to the app to allow citizen scientists observers to submit air temperature data in addition to the usual data types available. For more information about the eclipse tool, please visit the Eclipse area of the Do GLOBE Observer section.
Current eclipse data sets available:
- 21 August 2017 (path of totality over North America; clouds and air temperature)
- 02 July 2019 (path of totality over South America; clouds and air temperature)
- 14 October 2023 (path of totality over North, Central and South America; clouds, air temperature, land cover and wind)
