The effects associated with the solar proton events (SPE) during solar cycle 21 are examined. The only SPE documented to cause an ozone depletion below 45 km (approximately 2 mbar) was the event which occurred on Aug. 4, 1972. The ozone decreases associated with this event follow approximately the theoretically predicted behavior discussed by Heath et al. (1977) and Reagan et al. (1981). Ozone decreases during the July 13, 1982 and the Dec. 8, 1982, SPEs also follow approximately their theoretically predicted behavior between 60 and 85 km. Attention is given to the energy deposition by solar protons and electrons, photochemistry, model descriptions, model results, the solar zenith angle effect, three solar proton events during solar cycle 20, sensitivity studies, and temperature effects.
