Ozone content of the atmosphere. 2. Variability of the total ozone content in the atmosphere and the horizontal wind in the lower thermosphere (Central Europe)

摘要

The correlation between total ozone content lower thermosphere horizontal wind parameters, and standard indices of solar activity and geomagnetic activity has been studied. The satellite measurements of TOC for five observatories in Central Europe and the lower thermosphere wind measurements for Collm observatory (Germany) were used for 1996-2003. The quasi-periodic structure of these variations and the correlation between the corresponding periodograms were also studied. The quantitative evaluation of the statistically significant correlations and common periodicities were revealed. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
