法罗群岛日食前的公民科学

Citizen Science on the Faroe Islands in Advance of an Eclipse

Geoff Sims, Kate Russo

摘要:

2015年3月20日,北大西洋将发生日全食,丹麦王国的法罗群岛和挪威的斯瓦尔巴群岛(前斯匹茨卑尔根)是陆地观测的唯一选择。该地区以狂野、不可预测且经常多云的天气而闻名,这可能对希望观看这一奇观的人们构成严重威胁。我们报告了一个公民科学,天气监测项目,总部设在法罗群岛,这是在2014年3月进行的-一年前的日食。该项目旨在提高当地社区对日食的认识,收集的数据提供了2015年可能出现的典型天气状况的定量概述。它还使我们能够验证短期天气预报的有用性,这可能会被用来增加观测日食的可能性。

英文摘要:

On 2015 March 20, a total solar eclipse will occur in the North Atlantic, with the Kingdom of Denmark's Faroe Islands and Norway's Svalbard archipelago (formerly Spitzbergen) being the only options for land-based observing. The region is known for wild, unpredictable, and often cloudy conditions, which potentially pose a serious threat for people hoping to view the spectacle. We report on a citizen-science, weather-monitoring project, based in the Faroe Islands, which was conducted in March 2014 - one year prior to the eclipse. The project aimed to promote awareness of the eclipse among the local communities, with the data collected providing a quantitative overview of typical weather conditions that may be expected in 2015. It also allows us to validate the usefulness of short-term weather forecasts, which may be used to increase the probability of observing the eclipse.
