STUDIES AND MEASUREMENTS MADE OF THE SOLAR ECLIPSE OF OCTOBER 2, 1959
Abstract
Many types of measurements of radio astronomical and upper atmosphere parameters were taken during the total eclipse of October 2, 1959. Results include data on the uneclipsed solar energy as a function of time, the effect of the eclipse on the formation of the F layer, the diameter of solar plage regions, coherence of tropospheric scientillations and absorption of the D layer. Observations were made of Sputnik III thru a partially eclipsed ionosphere, of moon reflections of 220 Mcps transmissions, as well as other propagation parameters. A bibliography on solar radio observations of eclipses is included. (Author)
