Abstract:

Data on the total ozone content (TOC) obtained with the Brewer device, which operated at Thumba in Southern India (8°N, 76°E) from March to May 1990, are analyzed. Studies of the TOC power spectrum revealed the presence of some periods from 5 min to 8 h long and fulfilment of the "-5/3" law. This law usually manifests itself in wind fluctuations. This fact confirms the dynamic character of TOC oscillations revealed and their possible connection with the oscillations of vertical motions caused by the gravitational waves. Amplitudes and periods of TOC oscillations demonstrate the 29-day periodicity.
Using special statistical analysis, the coefficients of cross-correlation with the corresponding periods, amplitudes, and indices of solar activity (10.7 cm) were estimated. Maximum value of this coefficient is about 0.8 for the period of 6-8 h.
