This study is not yet peer reviewed but looks hopeful
I loved UNAVCO when I was teaching because of their outstanding lesson plans. Students could download real GPS data and convert to vectors to plot on a map, showing tectonic plate movement.
Antarctica will experience a total solar eclipse next [Dec. 4] Saturday, a rare occurrence that will give scientists insight into the behavior of Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Researchers are taking advantage of this unusual event because it provides an opportunity to study how electricity flows through the ionosphere, a layer of Earth’s atmosphere filled with charged particles.
Electrical currents are constantly flowing through the ionosphere, but they flow differently between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and scientists are unsure why. When sunlight dims during an eclipse, the temperature and flow of electricity in the ionosphere changes in a fairly predictable way. Researchers are planning to measure those changes during the upcoming eclipse and hope to learn more about why there are differences in electrical currents between the two hemispheres.
