This outcome is important to researchers as well as policymakers and regulators, who use exposure metrics to assess how
changes in ozone levels affect human health, vegetation, and climate.
«We would see a dramatic
drop in ozone levels that would persist for many years,» said Mills of CU - Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.
The longest lasting and most severe depletion — a cut of more than 70 per
cent in ozone levels — occurred over much of the northern hemisphere.
«By about 2030 to 2040 we predict a 10 per cent
increase in ozone levels, because of these climatic effects,» he told New Scientist.
We will now be able to measure and track Sun - induced space weather as well as global climactic
trends in ozone levels, aerosols, vegetation, volcanic ash, and Earth reflectivity, all in high resolution; just the kind of data our civilization needs to make informed cultural, political, and scientific decisions that affect our future.
A: Many dogs are fearful of the sound of thunder — and possibly the accompanying lightning flashes, loud wind, and
changes in ozone levels and barometric pressure.
