Studies of the stratospheric-tropospheric exchange were continued. Continuous data of the concentration of cosmogenic radionuclides /sup 7/Be, /sup 32/P, /sup 33/P, as well as of fallout and daily means of ozone concentrations, measured at 3000 m ASL are presented for the reporting period. Installation of two additional ozone measuring stations at 1800 and 740 m ASL provided the means for getting insight into the balance of the tropospheric ozone. First results of routine monitoring of the stratospheric aerosol with a high resolution lidar are shown. Accuracy of the method is discussed. Control of the stratospheric-tropospheric exchange by solar activity is examined with the aid of the key day method using an 8-year measuring sequence. Relevant literature available on the subject is reviewed.
