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.


Dr Bruce Bugbee, Schuyler Smith, and Damon Nitzel preparing the Apogee sensors for monitoring the eclipse. Dr Bugbee will be taking the station to Rexburg, Idaho to make measurements from within the total coverage zone.

Peter Sinks

The TS-100 has been deployed for the past year on a weather station at a record-setting cold location in the contiguous United States - Peter Sinks, Utah. It is used to accurately measure the extremely cold air temperatures that occur at the site. The Peter Sinks site uses two yellow-bead thermistors and two PRTs in an Apogee TS-100 to make replicate measurements. Note the Apogee SP-230 all-season pyranometer in the picture as well.


A webinar of the TS-100 with more information on the Peter Sinks site can be found here. The Peter Sinks information starts at approximately 15:25.
