ShareIncreased polar stratospheric ozone losses and delayed eventual recovery owing to increasing greenhouse-gas concentrations.
Author(s) : SHINDELL D. T., RIND D., LONERGAN P.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The paper investigates the interplay between projected future emissions of greenhouse gases and levels of ozone-depleting halogen species using a global climate model that incorporates simplified ozone-depletion chemistry. Increased concentrations of greenhouse gases might be at least partly responsible for the very large Artic ozone losses observed in recent winters. Arctic losses reach a maximum in the decade 2010 to 2019 in the authors' model, roughly a decade after the maximum in stratospheric chlorine abundance.
