Scientific paper

Chimonas and Hines1 have pointed out that the Moon's shadow on the Earth's atmosphere during a solar eclipse constitutes a cooling region travelling at supersonic speed. It may therefore be expected to generate a bow wave with a magnitude of about 10-5 atmosphere at ground level and 10-1 of ambient pressure at 200 km altitude. Chimonas2 estimates the frequency of the bow wave to be very low, corresponding to a period of about 4 h.
