Zusammenfassung |
Using a unique set of satellite based observations of the vertical
distribution of ozone during the recent annular solar eclipse of 15
January 2010, we demonstrate for the first time, a complete picture of the
response of stratospheric ozone to abrupt changes in solar forcing. The
stratospheric ozone decreased after the maximum obscuration of the Sun and
then gradually increased with time. A dramatic increase in stratospheric
ozone of up to 4 ppmv is observed 3 h after the maximum obscuration of the
Sun. The present study also reports for the first time the mesosphere-lower
thermospheric ozone response to solar eclipse. Thus it is envisaged that the
present results will have important implications in understanding the ozone
response to abrupt changes in solar forcing and time-scales involved in such
response. |
