A solar eclipse offers a unique opportunity to study the effects of the rapid disappearance and reappearance of solar thermal and ionization radiations on the ionospheric production, loss, and transport processes which affect the total ionospheric number density. Polarization measurements utilizing beacon emissions of the ATS-3 satellite were supplemented with bottomside ionospheric observations made near the subionospheric point during the partial eclipse of 10 Jul 1972. Time variation of the total electron content from 11:00 to 17:30 EST during the eclipse day and during the two days prior to and the three days following it are shown. A comparison of polarization changes during the eclipse day obtained at Fort Monmouth and at Sagamore Hill Radio Observatory, Hamilton, Mass. is given.
IPSE OF July 10, 1972. Technical rept., Soicher, H. ;Gorman, F.J., Jr;ECOM-4097DA-1-T-061102-B-31-A1-T-061102-B-31-A-01(*ionospheric disturbances, solar eclipses), electron density, atmospheric temperature, polarization, scientific satellitesats-3 satellitePolarization measurements at Fort Monmouth, N.J., using ATS-3 emitted signals and bottomside ionospheric sounding measurements at the subionospheric point were performed during the partial solar eclipse of 10 July 1972. A decrease in the total electron content and the plasma temperature ensued with corresponding diffusive particle fluxes into heights of maximum ionization. The diffusion rate to the height of maximum ionization was comparable to the recombination rate at that altitude. (Author).
Observations of the ionosphere during the 20 July 1963 solar eclipse at Bedford, Massachusetts are presented. A C-4 vertical incidence sounder was used. Critical frequencies and virtual heights of the ionosphere are plotted and compared with a 10-day average curve. Ionograms of the time of first contact, maximum eclipse and fourth contact are included. A series of optical photographs of the sun in eclipse, taken at ground level, are presented. (Author).
