Scientific paper

Results of observations of the total lunar eclipse on March 24, 1978, at 3.4-mm wavelength, are presented. The 6-m telescope of the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory was used for the observations that were made in the drift-scanning mode. Each scan passed through the center of the lunar disk, and the width of each scan was 4 min. Data recorded on magnetic tape provided the eclipse curves for three points on the lunar disk. The results of the observations show that there are significant differences from place to place in the thermal and microwave properties of the lunar surface layer. This proves the usefulness of millimeter-wave observations of the lunar eclipse as a probe of the lunar surface layer.
