Abstract
Based on the data obtained by the instruments of the Lovozero high-latitude observatory, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of atmospherics during the solar eclipse of March 20, 2015 were constructed. It was shown that no significant changes (beyond the limits of natural deviation) in the spectra of atmospherics were observed during the eclipse.
