Summary:If the solar eclipse of August 11, 1999 was so widely covered in
the media it is because it was the last of the century, but if it kept
the attention of the scientists it is for its particularly interesting
path. This subauroral path was propitious to created numerous
phenomenons. The backscatter sounder STUDIO was ideally located to make
observations, since it was nearly the middle of the entire eclipse path.
The observations made permitted one to follow the eclipse effects on the
entire path of about 12000 km. The recorded observances showed the
numerous phenomena produced by the eclipse. The preliminaries results
are shown, but several months of work are necessary to interpret all the
measurements
