Hello SID Users,

On 1 August 2008, there will be a total solar eclipse.  See
 http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html

Although the path of totality is in very northern areas,
research has found that the Earth's ionosphere responds to
eclipses in both hemispheres.  So SID space weather monitors
in many places of the world should be able to detect this eclipse.

We are hosting a SID campaign for 1 August and, if your
SID monitor is working, we would like you to join us!
All you need do is take your regular data and send us
the data file for the eclipse day.  We will be providing a
website with additional information.

If you do not have your SID monitor set up and working,
this would be a good time to do so!  If you are having
trouble setting up or using your monitor, send your
questions to us via email to:

      sid at sun.stanford.edu

and we will try to help!

Thanks.

Deborah Scherrer & the
Stanford Solar Center SID Team
