This paper investigates the impact of the July 2, 2019, total solar eclipse on the ionosphere using data from 24 Chilean GPS stations. Total electron content (TEC) variations showed minimal changes at totality stations but significant decreases south and increases north of the totality path. Wavelet analysis revealed atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) north of totality. The results suggest an interplay between the eclipse's direct effect on ionospheric plasma density and AGW-induced perturbations.
