TL;DR: The partial reflection technique has been used to measure the time variations of D -region electron densities at 74 and 80 km throughout the solar eclipse of 20 May 1966 as mentioned in this paper, and the average diurnal variation of the electron density has also been derived from measurements over a period of about two weeks prior to the eclipse.

TL;DR: The flight of a multilayer-coated mirror on a sounding rocket experiment on March 17, 1988 which was used to obtain photometric images of the sun just prior to solar eclipse is discussed in this paper.
Abstract: The flight of a multilayer-coated mirror on a sounding rocket experiment on March 17, 1988 which was used to obtain photometric images of the sun just prior to solar eclipse is discussed. The rocket payload and the choice of passband are described. The design of the multilayer, the fabrication of the mirror, and the reflectance measurements are addressed.

TL;DR: The total solar eclipse of 1999 provided a unique opportunity to observe the input of fast day-night and night-day transitions, under high solar elevation around noon, on the earth-atmosphere-biosphere system as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999 provided a unique opportunity to observe the input of fast day-night and night-day transitions, under high solar elevation around noon, on the earth-atmosphere-biosphere system. Within the interdisciplinary e eld campaign BAYSOFI, measurements of radiation, boundary layer micrometeorology and photochemistry, photosynthesis and transpiration were carried out at Freising-Weihenstephan and several locations nearby focusing on short-term effects of the eclipse. Although the overall grosswetterlage on August 11 was not favourable for viewing the eclipse, with clouds covering most of central Europe, observational conditions at Weihenstephan were fair due to a large hole in the cloud layer which appeared just half hour before totality lasting for more than one hour. Thus signie cant effects of the eclipse on radiation, photolysis rates, OH, the temperature, wind, turbulence structure and stratie cation, ozone and CO 2 e uxes, photosynthesis, transpiration and sap e ow of trees could be observed which are reported and discussed in the following sequence of papers.
