Abstract: | The effect of total solar eclipse on atmospheric conductivities has been studied. Continuous measurements of both types of
positive and negative electrical conductivities and some meteorological parameters in conjunction with the total solar eclipse
of 22 July, 2009 were made from 21 to 23 July, 2009 at Roorkee (29°52′ N, 77°53′ E, 275 m above sea level). Roorkee observed
90% maximum obscurity of eclipse since it was close to the path of totality. The event started from 05:28 AM IST and ended
at 07:42 AM IST with the total eclipse at 06:30 AM IST. Considerable increase of both positive and negative conductivities
were recorded during the eclipse with respect to those made on any other day. Increase in relative humidity and decrease in
temperature were also observed during the period of eclipse. |
