abstract = "Specifically for the total solar eclipse of Nov. 3, 1994
observations, a 30 Mhz riometer, with a Yagi-Uda antenna, was
installed in the vicinities of Sao Bento Alto (28 degrees
42'34{"}S, 49 degrees 30'37{"}W), very near the center of the Moon
shadow. At the same time two other riometer stations were in
operation, one at a lower latitude (C.Paulista) and the other at a
subauroral latitude (brazilian station) in Antarctica. In S.B.
Alto, contrary to the expectations, a noticeable enhancement of
ionospheric absorption started several minutes after the first
contact, lasting for few hours. No such effect was noticed on the
other riometer stations. However, peculiar periodic kinks have
been recorded during and after the solar eclipse by the C.
Paulista riometer. Based on these experimental results a
preliminary interpretaton, based on energetic particle
precipitation from the Van Allen radiation belts, into the
atmosphere if the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly, is offered.",
