Large volcanic eruptions are an important driving factor of natural climate variability. A
sound assessment of the role of volcanoes in the climate system in comparison to other …

Ozone plays a very important role in our atmosphere because it protects any living
organisms at the Earth's surface against the harmful solar UVB and UVC radiation. In the …

An off‐line three‐dimensional stratospheric chemical transport model (CTM) has been
developed and integrated in a series of 6‐year experiments covering 1991 to 1997. The …

Interannual variations of total ozone at midlatitudes of the Northern Hemisphere are shown
to operate coherently with variations of upwelling planetary wave activity from the …

A global stratospheric ozone data set for 1979–2005 is described. Interannual variations are
derived from analysis of Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE I and II) profile …

Variability in planetary wave forcing from the troposphere to the stratosphere is reflected in
changes in ozone transport, due to fluctuations in the stratospheric Brewer-Dobson …

This article describes the validation of a linear parameterization of the ozone photochemistry
for use in upper tropospheric and stratospheric studies. The present work extends a …

Evidence of the solar cycle in stratospheric polar temperature rests on a connection to the
quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of equatorial wind. New evidence reported here establishes …

Dynamics affects the distribution and abundance of stratospheric ozone directly through
transport of ozone itself and indirectly through its effect on ozone chemistry via temperature …

The observed depletion of the ozone layer from the 1980s onwards is attributed to halogen
source gases emitted by human activities. However, the precision of this attribution is …
