RISThe Ozone Hole of 2002 as Measured by TOMS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since its discovery in 1985, the ozone hole has been regularly mapped using the data from Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments on several satellites. The current TOMS, on the Earth Probe satellite, has been ...
Trends in Stratospheric Ozone: Lessons Learned from a 3D Chemical Transport Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stratospheric ozone is affected by external factors such as chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs), volcanoes, and the 11-yr solar cycle variation of ultraviolet radiation. Dynamical variability due to the quasi-biennial oscillation ...
Relative Contribution of Greenhouse Gases and Ozone-Depleting Substances to Temperature Trends in the Stratosphere: A Chemistry–Climate Model Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temperature of the stratosphere has decreased over the past several decades. Two causes contribute to that decrease: well-mixed greenhouse gases (GHGs) and ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). This paper addresses the ...
Understanding the Changes of Stratospheric Water Vapor in Coupled Chemistry–Climate Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Past and future climate simulations from the Goddard Earth Observing System Chemistry?Climate Model (GEOS CCM), with specified boundary conditions for sea surface temperature, sea ice, and trace gas emissions, have been ...
Observations of “Hysteresis” in Backscattered Ultraviolet Ozone Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite measurements using the backscattered ultraviolet technique provide a powerful method for the observation of stratospheric ozone. However, rapid input signal variations over three to four orders of magnitude in ...
