Analyses are presented of the association between two parameters of solar activity (Lyman‐α and 10.7 cm flux) and global total ozone as determined from Nimbus observations for the period April‐December 1970 (IRIS observations)and April 1970 ‐ April 1972 (BUV observations); and between Lyman‐α and global total ozone as observed at ground stations and the ozone concentration in the lower and middle stratosphere in the subtropics for the period 1969‐1972. It is shown that the high correlations discussed in other published studies between these solar parameters and nine months of IRIS data resulted from the use of a very limitedseasonally unfiltered data set.
