Chemical data assimilation estimates of continental U.S. ozone and nitrogen budgets during the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment-North America [PDF]
Global ozone analyses, based on assimilation of stratospheric profile and ozone column measurements, and NOy predictions from the Real-time Air Quality Modeling System (RAQMS) are used to estimate the ozone and NOy budget over the continental United ...

Stratospheric ozone depletion [PDF]
Solar ultraviolet radiation creates an ozone layer in the atmosphere which in turn completely absorbs the most energetic fraction of this radiation. This process both warms the air, creating the stratosphere between 15 and 50 km altitude, and protects the biological activities at the Earth's surface from this damaging radiation.

Role of the stratospheric chemistry–climate interactions in the hot climate conditions of the Eocene [PDF]
The stratospheric ozone layer plays a key role in atmospheric thermal structure and circulation. Although stratospheric ozone distribution is sensitive to changes in trace gases concentrations and climate, the modifications of stratospheric ozone are not

Distinguishing the impacts of ozone and ozone-depleting substances on the recent increase in Antarctic surface mass balance [PDF]
The Antarctic surface mass balance (SMB) has global climatic impacts through its effects on global sea-level rise. The forced increase in Antarctic SMB over the second half of the 20th century was argued to stem from multiple forcing agents, including ...

The impact of the mixing properties within the Antarctic stratospheric vortex on ozone loss in spring [PDF]
Calculations of equivalent length from an artificial advected tracer provide new insight into the isentropic transport processes occurring within the Antarctic stratospheric vortex. These calculations show two distinct regions of approximately equal area:

Long-term changes in the upper stratospheric ozone at Syowa, Antarctica [PDF]
Analyses of stratospheric ozone data determined from Dobson–Umkehr measurements since 1977 at the Syowa (69.0° S, 39.6° E), Antarctica, station show a significant decrease in ozone at altitudes higher than that of the 4 hPa pressure level during the ...

Analyzing ozone variations and uncertainties at high latitudes during sudden stratospheric warming events using MERRA-2 [PDF]
Stratospheric circulation is a critical part of the Arctic ozone cycle. Sudden stratospheric warming events (SSWs) manifest the strongest alteration of stratospheric dynamics.

The Electronically Confined Space Analogy Elucidates How Second-Row Triatomic 18-Valence-Electron Molecules Shape Life and Light. [PDF]
The Electronically Confined Space Analogy explains ozone's unique UV absorption by linking bent 18‐valence‐electron structures to enhanced stability and photochemical activity, offering a molecular‐level rationale for its dominance as Earth's stratospheric UV filter.

Agreement in late twentieth century Southern Hemisphere stratospheric temperature trends in observations and CCMVal-2, CMIP3 and CMIP5 models [PDF]
We present a comparison of temperature trends using different satellite and radiosonde observations and climate (GCM) and chemistry-climate model (CCM) output, focusing on the role of photochemical ozone depletion in the Antarctic lower stratosphere ...
