A solar eclipse occurred across India on October 24, 1995. Vertical ozone c
olumn was measured at New Delhi (28.4 degreesN, 77.1 degreesE) by a Brewer
spectrometer during this event. We found that at the time of maximum obscur
ation of the Sun the ozone column decreased by about 25 Dobson units (DU) f
rom its preeclipse value. These results are compared with the measurements
obtained elsewhere in India by other techniques during the same event. The
NO, slant column density measured at Ahmedabad (23.0 degreesN, 72.4 degrees
E) by visible absorption spectroscopy showed a wavelike variation during th
e eclipse. These variations did not follow the variation of the obscuration
of the Sun during the eclipse. Correlation between ozone column, UV flux,
and NO2 column could not be established because observations were not taken
at sufficiently close intervals.
