“…The suggestion of a relationship between ozone and the solar cycle dates to at least 1910 (Humphreys, 1910), and various researchers have found correlations of sunspot number with total ozone (Willet, 1962;Paetzold et al, 1972;Christie, 1973;Angell and Korshover, 1976). Researchers studying total ozone fluctuations for the period from 1958 to the present have in general found less evidence to support an ozone-solar correlation (Angell and Korshover, 1978a;London and Oltmans, 1977), but the period over which ozone was studied may not have been long enough to properly establish a long-term cycle.…”

“…Several plausible mechanisms linking the hypothesized ozone variations with the solar cycle have been suggested. Ruderman and Chamberlain (1975) first proposed that solar modulation of the source of nitric oxide produced by galactic cosmic rays might explain the ozone record, since the cosmic ray source of NO is approximately 30% smaller at solar maximum than at solar minimum. A subsequent study by Crutzen (1975) failed to support this mechanism (see also Ruderman et al, 1976).…”

Changes in ozone, temperature, and other minor constituents resulting from eleven‐year variations in the solar flux between 180 and 340 nm are presented. Results were computed using a one‐dimensional time dependent model that allows for all major feedbacks and time delays which may result from changing photolysis rates in the Ox ‐ NOx ‐ HOx ‐ CℓOx system. Since the 1950's the chlorine content of the stratosphere has been increasing. The effect of this increase on ozone variability during the last two solar cycles is analyzed. Expected variations in O3 and temperature resulting from changes in the uv flux are compared to available measurements.

“…The first results concerning the influence of solar activity on changes of total ozone content (TOC) were considered by Paetzold studies (Paetzold, 1969;Paetzold et al, 1972). The analysis of vertical sounding using Paetzold-Kulke optical ozone probes for the [1958][1959][1960][1961][1962][1963][1964][1965][1966][1967][1968] period has shown that there is a dependence between TOC changes and the phase of solar activity.…”

This paper deals with quasi-periodical processes related to variations in the total ozone content (TOC) and solar radio emission at 10.7 cm. For the detection of the hidden period in TOC variations, the wavelet transform was used to analyze the dynamic spectral analysis, the power spectra, and also the degree of correlations for selected harmonics. The harmonics obtained are related both to TOC variations and radio emission from the Sun, and they can be separated into four groups: (a) solar cyclic harmonics (periods of 5, 7, 11 and 22 years), (b) quasi-biennale modulation (about 2.5 years), (c) long periodical modulation with periods of 30, 60, 180 and 365 days, and (d) high-frequency modulation with a period of 6 days for ozone and 27 days for radio emissions. It is shown that the quasi-biennale harmonic represents a superposition of two close harmonics with periods of 1.8 and 2.7 years, the power maximum of which occurs in the minimum of solar activity. For the 6-day component, the expressed response is associated both with volcanic activities, having global character (e.g. eruption of the volcano Pinatubo), and solar flares with a noticeable proton component on July 13, 1982. It is also shown that there is a 180-day modulation of the climatic harmonic. Considering the zonal dependence of the integrated ozone power spectra, the latitude of 101S was selected as the minimal power of the significance harmonics of the observed spectrum. The latitude asymmetry of the spectral component power change was also diagnosed. r

“…The suggested correlation between ozone and sunspot number [Willet, 1961;Paetzold et al, 1972;Christie, 1973;•lngell and Korshover, 1976] is of primary interest in this regard. Because the anthropogenic effects that are of concern all have durations of decades or longer, to achieve early detection and to establish the magnitude of such effects we must differentiate the natural trends in stratospheric ozone variations from the man-made effects that are of comparable time scales.…”

If this relation is real, then for the next few years the theoretically predicted effect of CFMs (chlorofluoromethanes) on ozone may not be directly detectable [Penner and Chang, 1978] unless the effect of this ozone-solar cycle relation can be quantified and filtered out from the ozone data.…”

The relation between atmospheric trace species variabilities and solar UV variability

It has been suggested (Hudson, [1977]) that monitoring O3 levels in the upper stratosphere may provide an early warning signal for detection of changes in ozone owing to the effects of increasing chlorine burden. Penner and Chang [1978] suggested that the possible influence of changing solar UV flux may hinder this effort. Their study is extended here to investigate whether measurement of other trace species may yield more definitive information. Present study suggests that the long‐term trend in upper stratospheric N2O may provide more suitable data, though indirect, on the supposed solar UV variations, hence better quantification of one potential mechanism of long‐term natural variations in ozone.
