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.
They cause negative affects on Earth's delicate environment such as the depletion
of Ozone in the upper atmosphere.
Not exact matches
And if the
ozone layer

Unlike CFCs, pentane does not affect the
upper ozone layer, but does contribute to impurities

atmosphere.
The measures don't reveal exactly how much bromine is
in the
upper atmosphere, where the
ozone layer sits, but they can be used to predict how much
of the
ozone - destroying chemical will eventually make its way there.
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 laye
In his early stage

in the field of the earth's upper atmosphere like observations of terrestrial airglow and aurora, as well as the ozone laye
in 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 mesospher
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 mesospher
in ozone in the upper atmosphere and a natural cooling of the stratosphere and mesospher
in 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], fr

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.
