Scientific paper

The hypothesis of Thorne (1977, 1980) and Baker et al. (1986, 1987) that the precipitation of energetic electrons is modifying the high-latitude ozone distribution in the Southern Hemisphere is tested by comparing electron density data from a ground-based partial reflection sounder with simultaneous satellite data on ozone mixing ratios taken at the 40 to 50 km altitude. The results do not support the theory that large electron densities coincide with ozone destruction. There is no evidence, for instance, that the January 15, 1984 ionization event had an associated ozone loss. Further experiments for investigating the relationship between the precipitating electrons and ozone depletion are suggested.
