A solar eclipse occurred over Ahmedabad,India (23 degrees N, 72 degrees E) on 24 October 1995. Wt: measured the vertical column abundance of ozone during this event using a Dobson spectrophotometer. We found that a sharp fall in the ozone column began from its normal value similar to 15 minutes before the maximum obscuration (MO) of the sun, followed by a sharp rise similar to 10 minutes after the MO. About 15 minutes after the MO, ozone column returned to normal values, but a wavelike fluctuation was still seen.
