TL;DR: In this article, total electron content observations were taken on a triangular array to investigate travelling ionospheric disturbances induced by the solar eclipse of 23 October, 1976 over south-eastern Australia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated variations of the geomagnetic field observed by INTERMAGNET geOMagnetic observatories over which the totality path passed during a total solar eclipse and revealed suppression in the amplitude during the middle of a solar eclipse.

TL;DR: In a solar eclipse, the moon shields a limited region of the earth's atmosphere from the heating effect of the solar radiation as mentioned in this paper, causing the neutral gas to emit internal gravity waves that form a bow wave about the shadow region.
Abstract: In a solar eclipse, the moon shields a limited region of the earth's atmosphere from the heating effect of the solar radiation. This shadow travels through the earth's lower atmosphere at supersonic velocity, causing the neutral gas to emit internal gravity waves that form a bow wave about the shadow region. Tentative estimates of the amplitude of this wave indicate that it will be detectable well outside the area where the eclipse can be observed directly.

TL;DR: Sunspot data from the RGO series covering the period from 1874 to 1954 are analyzed to show the asymmetric distribution of sunspot areas north and south of the solar equator as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Sunspot data from the RGO series covering the period from 1874 to 1954 are analysed to show the asymmetric distribution of sunspot areas north and south of the solar equator. A detailed catalogue of naked-eye sunspots from Far Eastern annals is compiled from both the pre-telescopic and telescopic periods. Analysis of these fragmentary records indicates a mean period of about 10 years.

TL;DR: The solar eclipse of 12 November 1966 was used to study the coronal emission near the limbs in selected emission lines between 16 and 40 A. as mentioned in this paper showed that on the solar limbs on that day there was very little emission above 17,000 km in these lines.
Abstract: The solar eclipse of 12 November 1966 was used to study the coronal emission near the limbs in selected emission lines between 16 and 40 A. Eight fixed-wavelength, curved crystal spectrometers were carried in each of 3 rocket launches to an altitude of 290 km and monitored the flux in each of eight narrow-wavelength intervals encompassing the principal emission lines from the hydrogen-like and helium-like ions of C, N, and O. At totality the emissions dropped to background levels of 1% or less of the full sun values, showing that on the solar limbs on that day there was very little emission above 17000 km in these lines.
