Abstract

The total eclipse on 8 April 2024 began over the eastern Pacific, traversed North America, passed over Newfoundland, and ended at sunset over the eastern Atlantic. Despite its seeming remoteness from the UK, this eclipse was a rare opportunity to assess the effects of a ionospheric ionisation on the well-used transatlantic propagation path.
