Scientific paper

The Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) has been used to study the middle atmospheric (stratospheric and mesospheric) influences of solar proton events (SPEs). SPE-caused polar middle atmospheric effects have been measured by several satellite instruments (e.g., UARS HALOE, ENVISAT MIPAS, NOAA SBUV/2, and POAM III) and will be compared with the WACCM predictions. Some of the very largest SPE periods (e.g., August 1972, October 1989, July 2000, November 2001, Oct./Nov. 2003) caused impacts, which lasted months to over a year past the event period. The long-term SPE-induced polar ozone effects (both destruction and production) after these very large SPE periods can be significant and will be highlighted in this paper.
