Scientific paper

It has been suggested by Chimonas and Hines (1970) that during a solar eclipse the cool shadow of the moon, moving with supersonic speed through the earth's atmosphere should generate bow waves. The eclipse of October 23, 1976, provides an opportunity for attempts to record eclipse-generated atmospheric disturbances. A description is presented of the results of calculations which have been conducted to determine the form of the bow waves expected for the considered eclipse. Attention is given to the positions and times at which focusing effects are expected, using the eclipse path calculated by Fiala and Duncombe (1975).
