The studies of the stratospheric-tropospheric exchange were continued. The methods described in previous reports were retained. Continuous data of the cosmogenic nuclides /sup 7/Be, /sup 32/P, /sup 33/P and /sup 35/S and of fallout are given for the reporting period. A lidar system permitting remote sensing of stratospheric aerosol layers is described. Some examples of application demonstrate the effectiveness of an earlier described method for the forecasting of stratospheric intrusions. Fresh fallout from a Chinese nuclear weapon test could be identified by means of a GeLi-Gamma-Spectrometer. A harmonic analysis of the /sup 7/Be data resulted in frequencies which suggest a direct influence of solar rotation on the influx of /sup 7/Be and thus on the stratospheric-tropospheric exchange.
