Scientific paper

Observational evidence suggests the presence of solar UV variability in the spectral range 0.175-0.310 micron during the 11-year solar cycle. The present paper reports the results of a study using a steady-state 1-D radiative-convective-photochemical model conducted to determine the response of stratospheric temperatures and O3, O(1D), O(3P), and N2O constituent distributions to UV variability. Results show that concentrations of constituents and the thermal structure may be altered significantly for the altitude interval between 20 and 55 km.
