Description
Summary:A provisional data analysis to find the effect of solar-terrestrial events on the tropospheric and the lower stratospheric atmosphere has been made using radiosonde observations over Japan in 1988-1992. Although the lengths of analyzed intervals are short, significant changes of tropospheric and stratospheric temperatures of 2-3℃ were observed over northern Japan after energetic solar proton events. A phase reversal of temperature changes took place when the phase of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) was reversed. A provisional analysis of radiosonde data at Syowa Station, Antarctica in 1990 is also given.
