Search for Optical Modulation of the Solar Corona During the February 16, 1980 Total Solar Eclipse

Abstract

The optical modulation and solar scintillations in the frequency range from 24 Hz-15 k Hz and 5-15 MHz were recorded during the February 16, 1980 total solar eclipse. Preliminary results are discussed concerning both the coronal modulation and atmospheric modulation of the light. Recordings of the shadow band phenomena are presented.
