SH11B:
The Great American Solar Eclipse 2017: New Results and Follow-Up I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61190

Session Description:
The total solar eclipse of 2017 was the best-observed eclipse in history. Crossing the entire continental U.S., an estimated 215 million American adults (and untold children) viewed the eclipse in some fashion, with an estimated 20 million people experiencing totality in person. The eclipse was a rare opportunity for incredible solar, ionospheric, atmospheric , and even planetary science, This session follows up on first results presented at last year's AGU Fall Meeting highlighting experiments following the eclipse path, including new instrumentation, new platforms, and continent-spanning science enabled by citizen participation, with funding from NASA, NSF, industry, and individuals. We invite all eclipse-related science presentations, including updated results following detailed analysis after last year's session, and new results not yet presented, as well as outreach successes and lessons learned, with an eye towards breakthrough science for future eclipses, including in South America (2019, 2020) and the next U.S. eclipse in 2024.
