Scientific paper

Results are presented for measurements of the angle of arrival of a HF radio wave inside the path of totality of a solar eclipse. The measurements were performed to test the prediction that the 'cooling spot' of the lunar shadow of an eclipse, which travels at supersonic speeds through the atmosphere, is a continuous source of atmospheric gravity waves. Ionosonde measurements are analyzed which indicate a considerable change in the tilt angle of the sporadic E layer along the propagation path just after totality, a slow return to the original angle, and several cycles of an initially large-amplitude damped oscillation during the return. An attempt is made to discuss these results in the context of atmospheric gravity waves.
