Sentences with phrase «of ozone in the upper atmosphere»

Effectively she appears to at least confirm the possibility of my proposition that what is going on is an entirely natural solar induced process (destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere by more incoming solar protons) which casts doubt on all previous assumptions concerning human CO2 AND CFCs.

Unlike CFCs, pentane does not affect the upper ozone layer, but does contribute to impurities in the lower level of the atmosphere.

For instance, ozone depletion in the atmosphere occurs because of chemical reactions of hydrochloric acid on the surface of ice crystals and aerosols in the upper atmosphere.

In the harsh sunlight of the upper atmosphere, methane can react with other gases to form water vapor, which then breaks down into other chemicals that destroy ozone.

(Such low air temperatures encourage the formation of icy clouds in the upper atmosphere known as polar stratospheric clouds, which foster the chemical reactions that turn harmless chlorine compounds into ozone eradicators.)

NASA's upper atmosphere research satellite, for example, carries the British - made microwave limb sounder (MLS) which measures concentrations of chlorine monoxide — a chemical that plays a critical part in the destruction of ozone.

The increased wind speeds seem to be a result of cooling in the upper atmosphere, caused by the hole in the ozone layer above the pole, which is of course the result of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) pollution.

In his early stage of research, he was involved in the field of the earth's upper atmosphere like observations of terrestrial airglow and aurora, as well as the ozone layeIn his early stage of research, he was involved in the field of the earth's upper atmosphere like observations of terrestrial airglow and aurora, as well as the ozone layein the field of the earth's upper atmosphere like observations of terrestrial airglow and aurora, as well as the ozone layer.

He took the industry line, that delay was smarter than prompt action, and that physicists» models of change in the upper atmosphere weren't enough reason to be concerned about ozone loss — that there wasn't proof yet that it would cause harm at ground level to humans, so wait, delay.

The fact that the mesosphere / thermosphere cools with higher CO2 (where the temperature declines in the mesosphere), and indeed that the high atmosphere of Venus is even colder than Earth, should also be independent validation that ozone is not a pre-requisite for upper atmosphere cooling.

With no ozone, the atmospheric temperature would decrease monotonically, and we would instead have to speak of cooling of the «upper atmosphere» in conjunction with the surface warming due to increasing GHGs.

The lack of ozone is chilling the middle and upper atmosphere, altering wind patterns in a way that keeps comparatively warm air from reaching the surface.

Regarding your most recent comment, I believe you are making the same mistake you made earlier by confusing Tt with the temperature of the upper atmosphere (without ozone, it would be hard to call it a «stratosphere» so I'll use that term in quotes).

«The rate at which ozone is being destroyed in the upper stratosphere is slowing, and the levels of ozone - destroying chlorine in that layer of the atmosphere have peaked and are going down»

The only thing that we know of that can generate that distinctive fingerprint is human - caused increase in heat - trapping greenhouse gasses, and human - caused depletion in the upper atmosphere of stratospheric ozone.

Ozone loss in the stratosphere and the consequent increase in penetration of UV into the upper troposphere tends to reduce the differential between the atmospheric pressure in the stationary high pressure cell East of Chile and the low over Indonesia tending to move the atmosphere towards a constant El Nino orientation.

Cold temperatures in the upper atmosphere and the lingering presence of ozone - destroying pollutants, called chlorofluorocarbons, have set the stage for what could be a record loss in protective ozone over the Arctic this spring.

In reality a more active sun must be accompanied by a natural decline in ozone in the upper atmosphere and a natural cooling of the stratosphere and mesospherIn reality a more active sun must be accompanied by a natural decline in ozone in the upper atmosphere and a natural cooling of the stratosphere and mesospherin ozone in the upper atmosphere and a natural cooling of the stratosphere and mesospherin the upper atmosphere and a natural cooling of the stratosphere and mesosphere.

Long - term trends in the upper atmosphere - ionosphere are a complex problem due to simultaneous presence of several drivers of trends, which behave in a different way: increasing atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, long - term changes of geomagnetic and solar activity, secular change of the Earth's main magnetic field, remarkable long - term changes of stratospheric ozone concentration, and very probably long - term changes of atmospheric dynamics, particularly of atmospheric wave activity (Lastovicka 2009; Qian et al. 2011; Lastovicka et al. 2012).

In particular, increases in the number of small particles (called aerosols) in the atmosphere regionally offset and mask the greenhouse effect, and stratospheric ozone depletion contributes to cooling of the upper troposphere and stratosphere.fr2], frIn particular, increases in the number of small particles (called aerosols) in the atmosphere regionally offset and mask the greenhouse effect, and stratospheric ozone depletion contributes to cooling of the upper troposphere and stratosphere.fr2], frin the number of small particles (called aerosols) in the atmosphere regionally offset and mask the greenhouse effect, and stratospheric ozone depletion contributes to cooling of the upper troposphere and stratosphere.fr2], frin the atmosphere regionally offset and mask the greenhouse effect, and stratospheric ozone depletion contributes to cooling of the upper troposphere and stratosphere.fr2], fr3]

In the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) 95 % of UV is «used» to produce ozone, which causes a warming.

There was one WUWT thread which discussed the organic molecules plankton puts into the air, and how they can reach the upper atmosphere, and, (because they included elements ending in «ine,» such as Bromine, Fluorine, Chlorine, and Iodine,) alter the amount of Ozone, which in turn effected the types and powers of sunlight.

«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.

Possibly also the number of chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere increases due to the increased solar effects with faster destruction of ozone.

The protective role of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is so vital that scientists believe life on land probably would not have evolved - and could not exist today - without it.
