  We analyze the near-surface air temperature response, at three different
heights over the ground, recorded by the Williams College expedition under
meteorological conditions characterized by cloudy skies during the longest
total solar eclipse of the 21st century on 22 July 2009, at Tianhuangping
(Zhejiang), China. An analysis of the relationship between solar radiation and
air temperature was made by applying a study previously published in which we
evaluated the cloudiness contribution in estimating the impact on global solar
radiation throughout this phenomenon at that site. The analysis of this
response includes linear and absolute negative anomalies as well as
fluctuations, which was undertaken through a statistical study to get
information on the convection activity produced by the latter. The fluctuations
generated by turbulence were studied by analyzing variance and residuals. The
results, indicating a steady decrease and recovery of both perturbations, were
consistent with those published by other studies for this total solar eclipse.
