Neutral winds implied by electron content observations during the 7 March 1970 solar eclipse.

Abstract

Measurements of columnar electron content using geostationary satellite signals were made at several of our observatories throughout the U.S., during the 7 March 1970 solar eclipse. The ionospheric response to the solar eclipse was simulated in a computer. Discrepancies between observed and simulated electron content behaviors can be greatly reduced by assuming the existence of plausible neutral winds originated by the eclipse in the F-region heights.
