Moosonee Physicist Works Seven Days a Week at Remote Weather Station
Walter Komhyr a 26 year old geophysicist from Moosonee Ontario records data on submicroscopic particles for the International Geophysical Year. Sponsored by the Ontario Department of Transport he monitors solar radiation ozone in the stratosphere using instruments like an Eppley Pyrheliometer and a Gier Dunkle Radiometer.
