The ionospheric effects of the July 31, 1981 solar eclipse.
Abstract
The paper discusses observations of polarization-plane Faraday rotation at a frequency of 40 MHz and radio emission from near-earth space at 550 MHz during the solar eclipse of July 31, 1981. An effort was made to correlate the eclipse with the irregular structure of the ionosphere and changes in the total electron content. The observed effects do not appear to be connected with the eclipse but appear to be due to high solar, geomagnetic, and ionospheric activity.
