Solar radiation during a total solar eclipse

The Total Solar Eclipse of March 2006: overview

This paper provides the overview of an integrated, multi-disciplinary effort to study the effects of the 29 March 2006 total solar eclipse on the environment, with special focus on the atmosphere. The eclipse has been visible over the Eastern Mediterranean, and on this occasion several research and academic institutes organised co-ordinated experimental campaigns, at different distances from ec...

Broadband Spectroscopy during the Total Solar Eclipse of March 29 , 2006

The eclipse of March 29, 2006 attracted the University of Hawaii eclipse team to the desert plateau near Waw an Namus, Libya. The eclipse was successfully observed with three experiments. One of these experiments, a broadband spectrometer, was entirely student designed, built, and run as part of the Astronomy 699 project. In this paper the details of the broadband spectrometer experiment and it...

Evidence of gravity waves into the atmosphere during the March 2006 total solar eclipse

This study aims at providing experimental evidence, to support the hypothesis according to which the movement of the moon’s shadow sweeping the ozone layer at supersonic speed, during a solar eclipse, creates gravity waves in the atmosphere. An experiment was conducted to study eclipse induced thermal fluctuations in the ozone layer (via measurements of total ozone column, ozone photolysis rate...

The effect of the total solar eclipse of 29 March 2006 on meteorological variables in Greece

This paper examines the effect of the total solar eclipse of 29 March 2006 on meteorological variables across Greece. Integrated micrometeorological measurements were conducted at Kastelorizo, a small island within the path of totality, and other sites within the Greek domain, with various degrees of solar obscuration. The observa5 tions showed a dramatic reduction in the incoming global radiat...
