Generation of atmospheric gravity waves by the 30 June 1973 solar eclipse in Africa.
Abstract
Experimental results of electromagnetic probing of the ionosphere by the HF Doppler technique, obtained at equatorial geomagnetic latitudes in Africa during the 30 June 1973 solar eclipse are presented. Evidence of atmospheric gravity waves generated by the eclipse is discussed, and their properties are compared to the theoretical previsions.
