Scientific paper

For a short time just before a total solar eclipse a series of light bands known as shadow bands are sometimes seen to move over the surface of the earth; the bands are approximately 3 cm wide with a band separation of 8 cm. Photodetector systems were developed to record the shadow band phenomenon during the total solar eclipse of February 26, 1979. Observations show that the shadow band phenomenon is related to scintillations caused by upper-atmosphere waves or turbulence
