The potential role of stratospheric ozone in the stratosphere‐ionosphere coupling during stratospheric warmings [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 The recent discovery of large ionospheric disturbances associated with sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW) has challenged the current understanding of mechanisms coupling the stratosphere and ionosphere. Non‐linear interaction of planetary waves and tides has been invoked as a primary mechanism for such coupling.

Identifying orographic gravity waves in 3D observations via backward ray tracing [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsAtmospheric gravity waves (GWs) generated by orography, commonly referred to as mountain waves (MWs), play a key role in driving atmospheric circulation and in modulating phenomena such as sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs). Their contribution, however,

Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) scientific objectives [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2014 The upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) represents an important part of the climate system. Even small changes in the composition and dynamic structure of this region have significant radiative effects.

Environmental Conservation, 1974 Ozone in the stratosphere is vital to life on Earth. Yet it is chemically unstable and is susceptible to catalytic destruction from a long list of chemical substances, including NOX, HOX, CIOX, and metal oxides. In the stratosphere, these catalysts can be very active in ozone destruction, even when present at only one part of catalyst per 10,000 of ...

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Structural changes in the shallow and transition branch of the Brewer–Dobson circulation induced by El Niño [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 The stratospheric Brewer–Dobson circulation (BDC) determines the transport and atmospheric lifetime of key radiatively active trace gases and further impacts surface climate through downward coupling.

Global analysis for periodic variations in gravity wave squared amplitudes and momentum fluxes in the middle atmosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2019 Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are an important coupling mechanism in the middle atmosphere. For instance, they provide a large part of the driving of long-period atmospheric oscillations such as the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and the semiannual ...

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.All energy matters Let us broaden the discussion on solutions to climate change. Greenhouse gases have upset the delicate equilibrium of the Earth's energy balance. Consequently, all sources of heat affect the temperature of the Earth. Although the amount of additional heat generated by humans is a fraction of that produced by the sun, it is generated ...
