Abstract

The present study endeavors to explore the association between total column ozone (TCO) and surface temperature (ST) over Kolkata, India, during September–November through time series approach. A spectral analysis approach is adopted to investigate the existence of any common cycle in TCO and ST time series. The spectra have been computed, and it has been observed that there exist common spectra of period 24 in both the time series explored in daily scale. The existence of common spectra among TOC and ST during the transition period from monsoon to post-monsoon has been interpreted as a proof of the similarity in fluctuation pattern of TCO and ST. Details of the dependence of the variability of TCO on ST have been discussed.
