Hello Marilyn,<br /><br />You&#39;re right.  Thanks for pointing that out.  You can copy and paste the html addresses that I mentioned into your web browser, or you can see the PDF that I created (attached here); I printed out the sites (content) to that file.<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Greg

Collecting Data during the Solar Eclipse<br /><br />It&#39;s a fantastic revision, Solar_Eclipse_Data_Collection_Resources_revised.pdf (677k).  Thank you for posting the revised worksheet PDF and for clarifying the point that measurements and observations are valuable from those in the path of the totality and those of us who are going to witness a partial eclipse. <br />I&#39;ll be using these tips from NASA -<br /> <br /><a href="">Temperature Change during Totality</a><br /><br />https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/temperature-change-during-totality<br /><br />I&#39;m using a <a href="">OmniTemp (iOS) sensor</a> on my iPhone (this type is described on the site above) and want to tell everyone that they just released a revision to their App on iTunes that includes the ability to store temperature data. Their web site is - http://omnisensor.site123.me/

Shouldn&#39;t the Data Collection Sheet PDF be amended to emphasize that it&#39;s not just those in the Totality that are encouraged to collect &amp; report data?  I&#39;m in San José, Calif. and will witness only about 75% of the sun covered.<br /><br /> Relevant Globe websites include:  <br /><br /><ul><li><span style="color: #0a78cc"><span style="font-family: open_sansregular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><span style="color: #000000">How</span> Cool <span style="color: #000000">is the Eclipse?</span></span></span></span></li></ul>https://observer.globe.gov/science-connections/eclipse2017<br /><ul><li>Get Ready for 2017 Eclipse with the GLOBE Observer App!</li></ul>https://www.globe.gov/news-events/globe-news/newsdetail/globe/get-ready-for-2017-eclipse-with-the-globe-observer-app-<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="color: #ff0000">Cloud Observation Resources</span></li></ul>   https://observer.globe.gov/training/clouds<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The Solar Eclipse for the Rest of Us from Sky &amp; Telescope <span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></li></ul><span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"></span></span></span>http://www.skyandtelescope.com/2017-total-solar-eclipse/solar-partial-eclipse-rest/<span style="color: #222222"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"></span></span></span><br /><br />Please suggest this to <em>Dr. C (Czajkowski) </em>

Thanks. I will share with the teachers in my school district.

What kind of data would be interesting to collect during the solar eclipse? GLOBE Mission EARTH would like you to submit the clouds, surface temperature and air temperature data during the solar eclipse next Monday. <br /><br />The equipment you will need is the cloud chart, infrared thermometer and an alcohol-filled thermometer. Start collecting your data one hour before and after the eclipse. The attached pdf has a data table for you. <br /><br />Download the GLOBE Total Eclipse App once it is available on August 18. <strong><em>Remember to submit your data!<br /></em></strong><br /><em>Dr. C (Czajkowski) and many other scientists thank you in advance for contributing to this research!<br /></em><br />P.S. Thank your for your comments! Attached is the revised sheet.
