## Abstract
We present an analysis of atmospheric neutrino data from a 33.0 kton·yr exposure of Super-Kamiokande. The data exhibit a zenith angle dependent deficit of muon neutrinos, which is inconsistent with expectations based on calculations of the atmospheric neutrino flux. The results provide evidence for neutrino oscillations.
