9 pages, two eps-files, era.sty and new.sty files; the text includes 2 figures. Talk given at the Satellite Symposium ``New Era in Neutrino Physics'', June 11 - 12, 1998, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tokyo, Japan; version to be published in the Proceedings of the Symposium: results are unchanged, approximate expression for the energy width of the neutrino oscillation length resonance, one reference and a comment are added
The characteristic features of the neutrino oscillation length resonance, taking place in the ν2 → νe and νμ → νe (νe → νμ(τ)) transitions in the Earth of the solar and atmospheric neutrinos crossing the Earth core, are reviewed. The resonance enhances dramatically these transitions at small mixing angles but differs from the MSW one. It can be responsible, e.g., for the small excess of e-like events at Zenith angles θz ∼ (130∘ - 180∘) and can produce at least part of the Zenith angle dependence of the rate of μ-like events, exhibited by the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data.
