Near the Brazilian anomaly region the cosmic-ray (CR) intensity varies greatly due to the magnetic activity in that region. In order to study these variations, stratospheric balloons were launched to measure, simultaneously, the CR and OZ fluxes in the atmosphere. The Fourier-analysed data collected during the flight on April 22, 1989 show evidences of a short-period variation for both fluxes measured. Attempts to verify the physical mechanisms which associate the CR change with the OZ one are not conclusive due to limited data observed on that event. © 1993 Società Italiana di Fisica.9-15engCosmic-ray interactions with the EarthShort-period variation of cosmic-ray intensity and ozone density observed in the stratosphereArtigo10.1007/BF02509205WOS:A1993LE85300002Acesso restrito2-s2.0-51249165911
