Geophysical Effects of the March 29,2006, Solar Eclipse

摘要

This paper presents results of comprehensive infra-sonic, radiophysical, and electromagnetic measurements during the March 29, 2006, solar eclipse. Investigations were carried out in the territory of the Mikh-nevo geophysical observatory (Institute of Geosphere Dynamics, Russian Academy of Sciences) located 80 km away from Moscow in the Serpukhov area of the Moscow region. We obtained the following results: (ⅰ) excitation of acoustic-gravitational waves at a frequency close to the Brent-Vasala frequency (1.7 · 10~(-3) Hz) was recorded in the atmosphere during the maximum phase of the solar eclipse; (ⅱ) variations were recorded in the total ionospheric electron content (TEC); (ⅲ) variations in the geomagnetic field, magnetic declination, and inclination were recorded during the maximum phase of the eclipse.
