OZONE DISTURBANCES IN RELATION TO SOLAR-ACTIVITY

Statistical analysis of total ozone and its vertical distribution was carried out on the base of data obtained by rocket soundings with the aim to reveal influence of solar activity. The coherence between monthly mean total ozone data series for six latitudinal zones in the Northern Hemisphere and solar spots has weak: but steaby maxima for 9 and 13 - 15 years periods of oscillations. The value of coherence does not exceed 0.15 and growth to the higher latitudes. The analysis of ozone profiles for middle latitudes reveales the decrease in ozone concentration between 30 - 50 km for winter and increase for autumn. High correlation between disturbances of ozone content in two points (Voeykovo, Petropavlovsk) after strong geomagnetic events was also revealed.
