Field Trip

Field trip to the MAC (Contemporaneous Art Museum)

  • Measurements from the roof top of the building observing solar and sky radiances with a simple manual photometer from your smart phone.
    • The intent is to illustrate how to make measurements and convert it to scientific variables but it is not to actually perform a fully calibrated scientific measurement

Please read the instructions before Saturday, and install all the necessary cellphone apps! Download it here

  • First you will characterize and understand better the sensors in your Smart Phone:
    • Photometer
    • Camera
    • Inclinometers, accelerometers, compass, GPS, etc.
  • Second you will perform actual atmospheric measurements and compare results with AERONET.
