Scientific paper

Total stratospheric ozone values above high-altitude stations in southern California from 1912 to 1950 and northern Chile from 1918 to 1948 are determined using data obtained by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, including transmission measurements made in the Chappuis band (0.5 to 0.7 micron). The results show that at both sites, total ozone amounts commonly exhibit variations of as much as 20% to 30% on time scales ranging from months to decades. Consideration of the amount of incident solar energy absorbed by the Chappuis band suggests that ozone acts as a shutter on the incoming solar radiation and provides a trigger mechanism between solar activity and climatic change.
