On the relation of space radiation with total contents of ozone and climatic parameters over South Coast of Crimea

Results of regular observations and data analysis show significant correlation between the total ozone in the atmosphere with cosmic rays and hydrometeorological parameters (air and sea water temperature, humidity, precipitation) at the Black Sea Hydrophysical Proving Ground (BSHPG) located at the Southern Coast of Crimea at synoptic, seasonal and interannual scales of temporal variability. The maximum and minimum annual, monthly, decade, and daily values of total ozone, as well as its long-term norm for South Coast of Crimea, are estimated. The comparative plots of total ozone, cosmic rays intensity and hydrometeorological parameters are analyzed and correlations between them calculated. The obtained results confirm the important role of total ozone as an intermediate link between cosmic and solar radiation fluxes and atmospheric processes governing the formation of climate and weather pattern in the contact zone of marine and continental air masses.
