摘要
In this paper we present the results of accurate group height measurements of the ionosphere which were taken in the path of totality of a solar eclipse. A strong oscillation of period near 30-35 min was observed in the F-region about 17 min after totality occurred at the 45 km level and a smaller amplitude wave of period near 15 min appeared after the longer period wave had died away. These waves appear to be associated with the eclipse and a tentative model is proposed that explains these periods and the periods reported for the 1973 West African eclipse. © 1979.
