Abstract
Zeller et al. (1986) revealed a strong correlation between nitrate fallouts and great solar proton events by measuring abundances of nitrates in Antarctic snow. It was observed that the nitrate concentration peak for solar GLE (Ground Level Events) in August 1972 was 2-3 times as much as the mean level.
