Abstract
This talk reports the latest indications of an anomaly in the measurem
ents of atmospheric neutrinos. New results from Soudan-2 and Super-Kam
iokande provide evidence that the ratio of nu(mu) to nu(e) interaction
s is not as expected. High energy Super-Kamiokande data indicates the
cause is a deficit of upward-going nu(mu), and the zenith angle depend
ence of the effect is consistent with neutrino oscillations. Upward-go
ing muon measurements by several detectors are discussed, but in total
. they provide inconclusive evidence for the anomaly.
