Abstract
Solar UV irradiance spectra (290–325 nm) together with daily total ozone column observations have been collected since 1992 by means of Brewer spectrophotometers at two Italian stations (Rome and Ispra). The available Brewer irradiance data, recorded around noon and at fixed solar zenith angles, together with the output of a radiative transfer model (the STAR model) are presented and analyzed. The Brewer irradiance measurements and total ozone fluctuations and anomalies are investigated, pointing out the correlation between the high‐frequency O3 components and irradiance at 305 nm. In addition, the total ozone long time series of Arosa (170 km apart from Ispra) and Vigna di Valle (very close to Rome) are analyzed to illustrate evidence of temporal variations and a possible trend.
