Abstract

The results of the observation of the geophysical disturbances in ionosphere, atmospheric electrical field, magnetic field, surface ozone and infrasound during the total solar eclipse of 1 August 2008 in Novosibirsk are presented. The eclipse effect is more in evidence (1) for ionospheric parameters as decreasing of the critical frequencies up to 30–45% in different layers, (2) for the vertical gradient of electric potential as complex negative anomaly with amplitude change of more than 100% and (3) in concentration of the surface ozone as decreasing up to 15% and with a time lag of 15 min. The effect in magnetic field is less clear and it is detected only by the comparison with magnetic data of other observatories.

► Total solar eclipse of 1 August 2008 in Novosibirsk and its geophysical effects. ► Decrease of ionospheric critical frequencies up to 30–45% during solar eclipse. ► Change of atmospheric electric potential more than 100% during solar eclipse. ► Decrease of surface ozone concentration up to 15% and delay of 15 min. ► Negative anomaly in magnetic field up to 5 nT during solar eclipse.
