Description:

Project Halo aims to provide continuous meteorological monitoring of the total solar eclipse on April 8th, 2024. The project's preliminary goals are to determine whether or not the strength of the temperature inversion at the surface generated by the eclipse can be considered a function of latitude. As such, we seek to build a network of observation teams within the region of totality to obtain this goal. This town hall is to provide a space for discussion on general interest, logistics, and whether or not the project should be expanded to cover more areas of interest, such as the monitoring of the solar corona and the dynamics of atmospheric composition during eclipses. Since the project will still be in its planning phase, not all details will be determined by the time of the conference.
