The intensity variation at the sun's limb has been studied in order to derive the gradient of the temperature in the low chromosphere. Eclipse observations show that in the continuum the height gradients of the total intensity vary systematically with wavelength; the observed gradient in the red is
Photoelectric observations of the light intensity from the solar crescent before and after totality were made during the eclipses of 7 March, 1970 and 26 February, 1979. Effective wavelengths were determined by interference filters of 20 nm bandwidth. To obtain the limb darkening function, the resul
