Marine optics and solar cubesat design after the Secchi disk experiences |
|
Abstract |
Angelo Secchi in 1865 was called to perform marine hydrology experiments to ascertain the transparency of the Thyrrenian sea off the coast of Civitavecchia. From April to June he worked on Immaculate Conception's vapor vessel of the pontifical fleet. The work of Secchi lead to modern marine hydrology and limnology and the disk of Secchi is a common measurement standard also nowadays. An experimental setup for studying the transmittance of the water is presented in view of a cubesat dedicated to monitor the variations of the solar photospheric diameter. |
