                         14 December 2020 solar eclipse using the SUPIM\‐INPE model. 
                         Simulations are made for all known ionosonde stations for which 
                         solar obscuration is significant. The found response is similar to 
                         that previously reported for other eclipses, but it also shows a 
                         modification of the equatorial fountain transport that will impact 
                         the low latitudes after the event. In addition to the large 
                         reduction of electron concentration along the totality path (~4.5 
                         TECu, ~22%), a significant electron and oxygen ion temperature 
                         cooling is observed (up to ~400 K) followed by lasting temperature 
                         increases. Changes of up to ~1.5 TECu (~5%) are also expected at 
                         the conjugate hemisphere. These predictions may serve as a 
                         reference for eventual ionospheric measurements of multiple 
                         instruments and are leading to a better understanding of the 
                         ionospheric response to solar eclipses.",
