Abstract
Atmospheric changes are widely known to occur during solar eclipse events. At the ground level, wind speed, solar radiation, and temperature are all known to drop. The planetary boundary layer, the section of the atmosphere closest to the ground, is also known to settle closer to the ground. Additionally, the eclipse induces atmospheric gravity waves which propagate away from the path of the eclipse. In this work, these atmosphere changes are documented for both the October 2023 annular solar eclipse and the April 2024 total solar eclipse using a combination of a ground weather station and high-altitude atmospheric weather balloons.
