Total Solar Eclipse: A Grand Weather Sensitivity Experiment
Dr. Douglas K. Miller, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of North Carolina at Asheville
Wednesday, May 2, 2018
Garwood Hall, Room 150
3 - 4 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public.
A large investment of special weather observations was made nationally to document the atmosphere's response to the total solar eclipse as it traversed the continental United States on
August, 21 2017. Miller’s presentation will focus on how a solar eclipse might influence the weather over the southeastern U.S. in the late summer and describe its impact on the observed weather near the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory.
This event is hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Geography and Planning.
