In this paper, we study the variations of atmospheric electric field during the total solar eclipse (TSE) of July 11, 2010, at Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (CASLEO). These variations observed with two identical sensors separated by 0.4 km, show a significant increase (∼55 V/m) when compared with averaged values measured during previous and subsequent fair weather days. Furthermore, identical changes are detected on the measured phases of Very Low Frequency waves received at CASLEO. The latter suggests a possible connection between the lower ionosphere and the lower atmosphere during the period of the eclipse.

The recognition of space weather hazards is increasingly growing, highlighting the importance of monitoring and forecasting it. High precision satellite positioning techniques have become essential in various areas of social and economic infrastructure. However, it is well-known that Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) can be affected by space weather-induced ionospheric variations. This poses a challenge as it can impact the reliability and accuracy of GNSS-based systems. Space weather phenomena can also have significant effects on aviation systems and electric power grids. Given that many of these phenomena occur on a global scale, it is crucial to have a comprehensive monitoring and observation network. Currently, numerous ground-based observations are managed by local government or academic bodies. In contrast, space-based observations are typically operated by space agencies,...
