An array of microbarographs near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, detected traveling pressure waves at a time and with a direction of motion that indicates an association with the solar eclipse of February 26, 1979. The velocity was 10 m/s moving toward azimuth 65¿; the wave period and amplitude were approximately 120 s and 12.0 Pa, respectively; the duration of the wave train was approximately 3 hours. The probability that it was a free gravity wave is examined and rejected. A plausible source mechanism similar to the low level nocturnal jet is suggested. |
