Solar Activity and Atmospheric Ozone

Global monitoring of atmospheric ozone and solar UV radiation

The global monitoring network of ground-based ozone measurements consists mainly of Dobson and Brewer spectrophotometers. These instruments provide total ozone column amounts derived from measurements of direct solar UV radiation. Analysis of total ozone measurements from the global monitoring network shows a nearly linear downward trend from 1980 to mid 1990s. Data after mid 1990s indicate tha...

Atmospheric impact on beryllium isotopes as solar activity proxy

[1] Reconstructing solar activity variability beyond the time scale of actual measurements provides invaluable data for modeling of past and future climate change. The Be isotope has been a primary proxy archive of past solar activity and cosmic ray intensity, particularly for the last millennium. There is, however, a lack of direct highresolution atmospheric time series on Be that enable estim...

Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations

I review the status of neutrino masses and mixings in the light of the solar and atmospheric neutrino data in the framework of two–, three– and four neutrino mixing. 1 Indications for Neutrino Mass: Two–Neutrino Analysis I a first review the present experimental status for solar and atmospheric neutrinos and the results of the different analysis in the framework of two–neutrino oscillations. Th...
