  2. 1. Future stratospheric ozone depletion will affect a subarctic dwarf shrub ecosystem

    Author : Ulf Johanson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vaccinium; UVB; subarctic; shoot growth; ozone depletion; leaf thickness; irradiation system; heath ecosystem; Empetrum; dwarf shrubs; Calamagrostis; decomposition; Physiological biophysics; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : The stratospheric ozone depletion and the concomitant increase in ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280-320 nm) radiation is of global concern due to the effects of UV-B on living organisms. To investigate the effects of increased levels of UV-B, a field irradiation system was established at a subarctic dwarf shrub heath in Northern Sweden (68 °N). READ MORE

  4. 2. A Study of Polar Ozone Depletion in the Lower Stratosphere. -Dynamical assimilation of O3 and N2O data from Odin/SMR and ENVISAT/MIPAS

    Author : JOHN RÖSEVALL; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SMR; O3; stratosphere; Odin; data assimilation; transport modelling; atmosphere; NO2; ozone depletion; MIPAS;

    Abstract : For more than 20 years, a hole in the ozone layer has formed each spring over Antarctica when sunlight returns to the polar region. Similar albeit far less extensive ozone destruction has also been observed in the Arctic polar vortex after colder than average winters. READ MORE

  5. 3. Decadal analysis of stratospheric ozone depletion using data assimilation and Odin/SMR measurements

    Author : Kazutoshi Sagi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ozone loss; remote sensing; stratosphere; limb sounding; data assimilation;

    Abstract : Serious ozone depletion has been measured every Antarctic spring since the early 80’s. This ozone depletion is considered to be a result of photo-chemical reactions and catalytic cycles resulting from anthropogenic halogen containing gases. facilitated by the formation of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs).

  6. 4. Analysis of stratospheric ozone depletion in the Arctic using a data assimilation technique

    Author : Kazutoshi Sagi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; data assimilation; ozone loss; limb sounding; remote sensing; stratosphere;

    Abstract : Serious ozone depletion has been measured every Antarctic spring since the early 80’s. This ozone depletion is considered to be a result of photo chemical reactions and cat- alytic cycles resulting from anthropogenic halogen containing gases. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Numerical Tracer Advection in the Stratosphere and Assimilation of Data from Satellites

    Author : JOHN RÖSEVALL; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stratosphere; transport modelling; O3; ozone depletion; data assimilation;

    Abstract : Since the early 1980's, large scale ozone depletion has been observed in the lower regions of the ozone layer over Antarctica when sunlight returns to the polar region in the early spring. The destruction of ozone is attributed to anthropogenic emissions of freon and halon compounds that have augmented the natural stratospheric concentrations of nonreactive Clx and Brx reservoir species with several hundred percent.
