Meteorological effects and impacts of the 10 June 2021 solar eclipse over the British Isles, Iceland and Greenland
peer reviewed We present a pioneering report of the meteorological effects of a partial solar eclipse across a wide region. Using large networks of official weather stations and a regional climate model simulation, we detected meteorological effects of the 10 June 2021 eclipse in the UK, Iceland and...

Summary: | peer reviewed We present a pioneering report of the meteorological effects of a partial solar eclipse across a wide region. Using large networks of official weather stations and a regional climate model simulation, we detected meteorological effects of the 10 June 2021 eclipse in the UK, Iceland and Greenland. A meteorological model was used to show that the eclipse decreased the daily Greenland Ice Sheet surface melt by ~10%. Solar photovoltaic and wind renewable energy production across the UK were also affected. |
