Does total column ozone change during a solar eclipse? by G. H. Bernhard, G. T. Janson, S. Simpson, R. R. Cordero, R. R. Cordero, E. I. Sepúlveda Araya, J. Jorquera, J. A. Rayas, R. N. Lind

“…<p>Several publications have reported that total column ozone (TCO) may oscillate with an amplitude of up to 10 DU (Dobson units) during a solar eclipse, whereas other researchers have not seen evidence that an eclipse leads to variations in TCO beyond the typical natural variability. Here, we try to resolve these contradictions by measuring short-term variations (of seconds to minutes) in TCO using “global” (Sun and sky) and direct-Sun observations in the ultraviolet (UV) range with filter radiometers (GUVis-3511 and Microtops II^®). …”
