Ultra Violet light being likely the most significant solar factor
affecting ozone concentrations, although not the only solar factor.
Debates over the optimal level of ozone have been ongoing for many years, and current efforts to strengthen environmental regulations
affecting ozone concentrations remain contentious.

It would provide important insight into how much SRM would reduce radiative heating, the
concentration of water vapor in the stratosphere, and the processes that determine water vapor transport — which
affects the
concentration of
ozone.
Tropospheric
ozone — a greenhouse gas and the kind that
affects the air we breathe — can increase in
concentration because of atmospheric conditions, or can result from human activities.
By adjusting elements of the test, such as the air exchange rate, which is the number of times per hour indoor air is replaced by outdoor air, as well as the
concentrations of terpene and
ozone in the chamber, the group was able to ascertain how those variables each
affected the formation of secondary organic aerosols.

ozone hole and rising greenhouse - gas
concentrations affect regional and global atmospheric circulation and climate?
There are a large number of recent peer - reviewed scientific publications demonstrating how solar activity can
affect our climate (Benestad, 2002), such as how changes in the UV radiation following the solar activity
affect the stratospheric
ozone concentrations (1999) and how earth's temperatures respond to changes in the total solar irradiance (Meehl, 2003).

affect the
concentrations of stratospheric
ozone in future decades.»
Weather and climate
affect both the
concentration of ground - level
ozone in the ambient air and to what degree the stomata are open.»
Factors that
affect ozone formation include heat,
concentrations of precursor chemicals, and methane emissions.
While others have looked at how changes in climate and in carbon dioxide
concentrations may
affect vegetation, Reilly and colleagues added to that mix changes in tropospheric
