Ozone Concentration and Aurora Frequency in Relation to Solar-Terrestrial Indices

Atmospheric Ozone

  • 192 Accesses

Summary

An investigation is carried out to examine the degree of dependence of ozone(03) production in the atmosphere from solar phenomena i.e. sunspot numbers (Rz), the solar wind streamers derived from coronal holes (H), from flares (F) and the geomagnetic index (Ap). As both ozone and Aurora share a common triggering production mechanism a search for a possible relationship between them was made. These relationships helped to put foreward possible hypotheses concering total ozone distribution and production in the atmosphere.
