Observations from the geosynchronous satellite ATS-6 of ionized and neutral particles in Earth's atmosphere during a solar eclipse have revealed quasi-periodic fluctuations in electron content. Electrical flux density and electrical resistance were measured noting that the period of spectral intensity fluctuation is greater in the latter. Electron content fluctuations, however, are more clearly observed in flux density measurements. These observations are consistent with atmospheric gravity wave theory in that gravitational perturbations are induced by the rapidly moving lunar shadow during a solar clipse.
