Influence of solar eclipse of November 3rd, 2013 on the total ozone column over Badajoz, Spain [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.7006


The hybrid eclipse of November 3rd, 2013 was observed as partial with a magnitude equal to 0.126 from Badajoz (38^\circ 53′ N, 6^\circ 58′ W). The evolution of the Total Ozone Column (TOC) values during 4 hours was monitored using a Solar Light Microtops-II manual sun-photometer. Before the eclipse, TOC remained invariable ~280 Dobson Units (DU) for one hour and a half. Once the eclipse was started, a clear decrease in TOC occurred. After the eclipse maximum (with TOC = 273 DU), a rapid TOC recovery was observed. When the eclipse was over, TOC came back to values ~280 DU.
