Abstract
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 µm 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.
