The near infrared spectrometer and the ultraviolet spectrometer on the Solar Mesosphere Explorer (SME) observed the ozone density as a function of latitude and altitude during the solar proton event of July 13, 1982. Airglow at 1.27 &mgr;m was observed at the earth's limb. The altitude profiles of the emission were inverted providing ozone densities. The ozone densities observed showed a clear decrease during the event. The maximum depletion seen was 70%. The decrease was observed in the northern high latitudes at mesospheric altitudes. The decrease was very short lived, lasting less than a day. |
