Description
Big Bear Solar Observatory is building the world's first global
earthshine network to measure Earth's large-scale reflectance. Our first
remote station was deployed in late 2003 at the Crimean Astronomical
Observatory. Here we compare the data obtained from the two earthshine
stations, Crimea and Big Bear. We find that the retrieved quantities
from both stations are consistent and that the data may be easily
combined into a single data set expanding the temporal and geographical
coverage of our Earth reflectance measurements from California. We also
detail our plans and the expected coverage with a larger network of
stations.
