917 GLOBE Eclipse: Citizen Scientist Measurements of Atmospheric Changes During Astronomical Events
The GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program is an international citizen science (CS) and education program. The program’s GLOBE Observer app guides participants to collect cloud and air temperature observations during solar eclipses.

The participants are prompted to collect:
- Air temperature every 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes 30 minutes before/after maximum.
- Cloud information (cover, type, and height) every 15 to 30 minutes.
- A land cover observation the day of the eclipse (new in 2023).

This research explores:
- The importance of citizen science.
- The effects of the solar eclipse on clouds.
