Using Machine Learning to Make Computationally Inexpensive Projections of 21st Century Stratospheric Column Ozone Changes in the Tropics

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Stratospheric ozone projections in the tropics, modeled using the UKESM1 Earth system model, are explored under different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs).

Sources contributing to background surface ozone in the US Intermountain West [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014
We quantify the sources contributing to background surface ozone concentrations in the US Intermountain West by using the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model with 1 / 2° × 2 / 3° horizontal resolution to interpret the Clean Air Status and Trends Network ...

The impact of the mixing properties within the Antarctic stratospheric vortex on ozone loss in spring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
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:

The Met Office HadGEM3-ES chemistry–climate model: evaluation of stratospheric dynamics and its impact on ozone [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2017
Free-running and nudged versions of a Met Office chemistry–climate model are evaluated and used to investigate the impact of dynamics versus transport and chemistry within the model on the simulated evolution of stratospheric ozone.

Distinguishing the impacts of ozone and ozone-depleting substances on the recent increase in Antarctic surface mass balance [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2020
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 ...

Stratospheric ozone depletion [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 1991
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. In

Role of the stratospheric chemistry–climate interactions in the hot climate conditions of the Eocene [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2019
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

Stratospheric Ozone and Health [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Epidemiology, 1994
Stratospheric ozone is being depleted and ambient ultraviolet (UV) irradiance is probably increasing. While remedial steps have been taken through the Montreal protocols, at best it will take some 90 years for stratospheric ozone concentrations to return to the levels existing in the 1970s.The evidence that these changes may have harmful effects on ...

Reconciliation of essential process parameters for an enhanced predictability of Arctic stratospheric ozone loss and its climate interactions (RECONCILE): activities and results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The international research project RECONCILE has addressed central questions regarding polar ozone depletion, with the objective to quantify some of the most relevant yet still uncertain physical and chemical processes and thereby improve prognostic ...

Changes in Stratospheric Ozone [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1987
The ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is a natural feature of the earth's environment. It performs several important functions, including shielding the earth from damaging solar ultraviolet radiation. Far from being static, ozone concentrations rise and fall under the forces of photochemical production, catalytic chemical destruction, and fluid ...
