A chain of observational stations running parallel to the path of totality has been used to obtain ionograms, electron-content measurements, magnetograms, and microbarograph recordings of the effects of the March 18, 1988 solar eclipse's transit through Southeast Asia. Depletions of f0E and f0F1 are noted, and electron density-height profiles reveal a deeply hollowed-out electron-density valley over the 200-300 km altitude range. The equatorial anomally diffusion process was substantially reduced. As a result of the electron density depletion in the E-region at the magnetic equator, the northward movement of S(q) current electrons was halted. Direct evidence is obtained for the production of acoustic gravity waves by the moving bow wave front of the solar eclipse.
