Our Next Astronomy Fundamentals Program:
Date: Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Location: Naperville Municipal Center, downstairs meeting room B & C (see Map page for directions)
Time: 7:30P.M.
Program: Do-It-Yourself Weather Forecasting
Presenter: NAA Member Drew Carhart
Astronomers are just about the only people who need to know, and plan for, weather and atmospheric conditions in the late overnight hours. Details such as what the "seeing" be, as well as the "transparency" of the atmosphere over a particular location are usually included on your nightly news weather segment. NAA Member Drew Carhart will present "Do-It-Yourself Weather Forecasting", focusing on many readily-available data sources which can help the observer get a clearer idea of what sky conditions will be like over the coming hours (or even days) over a particular location.
