Preliminary Assessment of the Potential Impact of Solid-Fueled Rocket Engines in the Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Free chlorine atoms produced from HCl deposited by solid-fueled rocket engines react to destroy odd oxygen in the stratosphere. Using a one-dimensional photochemical model, we have computed the reduction of ozone likely ...
A One-Dimensional Model Describing Aerosol Formation and Evolution in the Stratosphere: I. Physical Processes and Mathematical Analogs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have developed a time-dependent one-dimensional model of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol layer. In constructing the model, we have incorporated a wide range of basic physical and chemical processes in order to avoid ...
A One-Dimensional Model Describing Aerosol Formation and Evolution in the Stratosphere: II. Sensitivity Studies and Comparison with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have performed sensitivity tests on a one-dimensional physical-chemical model of the unperturbed stratospheric aerosols and have compared model calculations with observations. The sensitivity tests and comparisons with ...
A Multidimensional Model for Aerosols: Description of Computational Analogs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The numerical algorithms which we use to simulate the advection, diffusion, sedimentation, coagulation and condensational growth of atmospheric aerosols are described. The model can be used in one, two, or three spatial ...
Stratospheric Aerosol Modification by Supersonic Transport and Space Shuttle Operations—Climate Implications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have estimated the potential effects on stratospheric aerosols of supersonic transport emissions of sulfur dioxide gas and submicron soot granules, and space shuttle rocket emissions of aluminum oxide particulates. ...
