Apogee Quantifies the Solar Eclipse
Apogee will be on site quantifying the Great American Solar Eclipse from the center of the path of totality on August 21, 2017. As one of the biggest solar radiation events of the century, Dr. Bruce Bugbee and NYU Professor, Dr. Tyler Volk, will be manning a full suite of Apogee radiation sensors including spectroradiometers, a net radiometer, pyranometers, quantum sensors, infrared radiometers, and a precision thermistor inside an aspirated radiation shield while in Rexburg, Idaho. Stay tuned for a full report and video of their results.
