                         S{\~a}o Jo{\~a}o do Cariri (7.4°S, 36.5°W) showed the presence 
                         of a medium-scale atmospheric gravity wave (AGW) associated with 
                         the 21 August 2017 total solar eclipse. The AGW had a horizontal 
                         wavelength of \∼1,618 km, observed period of \∼152 
                         min, and propagation direction of \∼200° clockwise from the 
                         north. The spectral characteristics of this wave are in good 
                         agreement with theoretical predictions for waves generated by 
                         eclipses. Additionally, the wave was reverse ray-traced, and the 
                         results show its path crossing the Moon's shadow of the total 
                         solar eclipse in the tropical North Atlantic ocean at 
                         stratospheric altitudes. Investigation about potential driving 
                         sources for this wave indicates the total solar eclipse as the 
                         most likely candidate. The optical measurements were part of an 
                         observational campaign carried out to detect the impact of the 
                         August 21 eclipse in the atmosphere at low latitudes.",
