Short summary
The sun’s radiation exhibits a cycle with a period of ~11 years. We need to understand how the atmospheric temperature and ozone react to this solar variation, as it can affect climate. The response depends on energy transfer, chemical reactions, and atmospheric motions. There is no consensus as to some details. For example, the responses depend on the local times of the variations. This study provides results of effects of local time on the responses, from 20 to 100 km, based on measurements.
