Sentences with phrase «because ozone in the stratosphere»

On Earth, temperature inversion occurs because ozone in the stratosphere absorbs much of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, preventing it from reaching the surface, protecting the biosphere, and therefore warming the stratosphere instead.

Not exact matches

The Antarctic ozone hole forms and expands during the Southern Hemisphere spring (August and September) because of the high levels of chemically active forms of chlorine and bromine in the stratosphere.

Because ozone in the troposphere is a precursor to OH, they deployed weather balloons equipped with measuring devices known as sondes to measure the amount of ozone in the air from the surface to the stratosphere.

Because they are released in large quantities from tropical oceans, they are rapidly lofted by tropical thunderstorms into the stratosphere within a month or two where they can destroy ozone for a larger portion of their lifetimes.

Currently only ozone - depleting substances with atmospheric lifetimes ranging from a year to over 100 years, are controlled because they linger in the atmosphere long enough to reach the upper atmosphere, called the stratosphere.

Temperature inversion in Earth's stratosphere occurs because of the presence of ozone, while on Jupiter and Saturn, it is caused by the presence of hydrocarbons.

The stratosphere is involved in TMT, TTS and TLS and that is cooling because of ozone depletion and increasing CO2.

This is due to the fact that the atmosphere warms with height in the stratosphere [because of the ozone layer].

And, «fluctuation of ozone in the stratosphere is likely a natural phenomenon because solar radiation is a fluctuating event.»

But scientists have now found that stratospheric ozone is probably not recovering at lower latitudes, between 60 ⁰ N and 60 ⁰ S (London lies at 51 ⁰ N), because of unexpected decreases in ozone in the lower part of the stratosphere.

'' «It all amounts to a mystery, but a troubling one because ozone protects life at the surface from incoming ultraviolet radiation, and any thinning of total ozone in the stratosphere is cause for concern.

Destruction of ozone in the stratosphere takes place as quickly as formation of ozone, because the chemical is so reactive.

The stratosphere has cooled because of ozone loss due to moisture arising in tropical convection overshoot.

So, according to the climate models, the reason why temperatures increase with height in the stratosphere is because of ozone heating.

Global warming is implicated in the loss of Arctic ozone because greenhouse gases trap energy lower down, heating up the atmosphere nearer the ground but cooling the stratosphere, creating conditions conducive to the formation of the reactive chemicals that break apart the three - oxygen molecules of ozone.

«Because of the strong absorption of ozone in the UV occurring in the upper stratosphere and meso - sphere, a solar influence on the thermal structure in these regions of the atmosphere is plausible.

Omitting OMPS - Limb will result in the complete loss of precise information about the ozone - height profile after 2014, because OMPS - Limb was the only instrument planned to fly after Aura that would be capable of determining ozone profiles below the peak concentration in the stratosphere.

Ozone recovery in the tropical stratosphere is expected to be faster and the recovery of the polar ozone hole is expected to be slower because of the CO2 - induced cooling of the stratosphere (and increase the number of polar stratospheric cloOzone recovery in the tropical stratosphere is expected to be faster and the recovery of the polar ozone hole is expected to be slower because of the CO2 - induced cooling of the stratosphere (and increase the number of polar stratospheric cloozone hole is expected to be slower because of the CO2 - induced cooling of the stratosphere (and increase the number of polar stratospheric clouds).
