Abstract

Discusses the application of the Wigner-Ville (WV) signal time-frequency analysis for millimeter wavelength solar bursts investigation. In addition to solar microwave bursts, we discuss briefly the first attempts to analyze the time-frequency distributions of H₂O space maser radio emission using the WV method. Some new aspects of atmospheric ozone studies are covered. The microwave ozone lines intensity ratio is informative of the molecular distribution of rotational energy levels. Compared to the proper solar activity indices, such ratios are of interest as a new probe of solar-terrestrial links. The last ozone relevant problem is the observations of the atmospheric N ₂O rotational line
