The word
"stratospheric" means something that is very high up in the atmosphere, like a layer of gas that surrounds the Earth. It can also refer to something that is extremely high in terms of quantity or level.
Full definition
The connection does not come as a surprise — the depletion of
stratospheric ozone in the Antarctic is already thought to influence the Southern Hemisphere tropospheric climate.
If you read Raypierre's chapter, you'll see that he was not invoking a grey gas model to require the presence of ozone for
stratospheric cooling.
This increase in
stratospheric temperature with height to the stratopause and the decrease beyond is due to UV solar heating by ozone, independent and unrelated to the greenhouse effect, but nevertheless superimposed on the monotonically decreasing greenhouse temperature profile.
Oinas, V., A.A. Lacis, D. Rind, D.T. Shindell, and J.E. Hansen, 2001: Radiative cooling by
stratospheric water vapor: Big differences in GCM results.
Increased
polar stratospheric ozone losses and delayed eventual recovery owing to increasing greenhouse - gas concentration.
[note] In this context it intrigues me that those who advocate
for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) tend to ignore the possibility that the possible termination effect would increase net risk from greenhouse gas emissions, and the deployment of SAI should therefore (in risk adjustment terms) justify accelerated mitigation rather than reduced mitigation.
With prices at
stratospheric levels, the next question that pops up is: How long will the rally last?
Kodera, K., and M. Chiba, 1995: Tropospheric circulation changes associated
with stratospheric sudden warmings: A case study.
NASA's high - altitude
Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), mounted on the side of a Boeing 747SP, began observing in infrared and microwave light in 2010 and the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory launched into orbit in 2009 to target the same wavelengths.
Although the amount of UV radiation reaching the snow surface at Summit is notably influenced
by stratospheric ozone levels, the UV measurement time series available in the Arctic is not yet long enough to allow trends to be detected.
TOKYO: Bitcoin prices plunged by a quarter yesterday as investors cashed out just before Christmas after the wildly volatile currency's
stratospheric rise in recent weeks.
Most of us thought the SLS would be a flagship of
stratospheric price, carrying on where the SLR McLaren left off and doing a much better job of being a proper supercar.
(Essentially, these are based on the same raw data as the LT data sets, but have not been adjusted to remove cooling
stratospheric influence, and therefore tend have significantly lower trends).
The technique could be used on a smaller scale than other proposed technologies, such
as stratospheric aerosol injection.
Ranging
from stratospheric heights of $ 20000, the price of bitcoin fell to below $ 15000 figures creating much concern amongst crypto aficionados who were rooting for the digital token to reach record heights.
Despite having little effect on global mean warming, we show that downward coupling of observed
stratospheric circulation changes to the surface can account for the majority of change in regional surface climate over Europe and North America between 1965 and 1995.
The Dubliner's inexorable rise
reached stratospheric heights in the cross-over clash which is expected to earn him in the region of # 77m — and that's before endorsement deals are considered.
But transaction fees reached
stratospheric heights last year making it impractical to enter into everyday purchases with the cryptocurrency mode.
Record cold temperatures in the
Arctic stratospheric ozone layer, 15 to 35 kilometers up, are the proximate cause for this year's losses, because they help to unleash ozone - destroying chemicals.
Perhaps cosmic ray induced chemistry was playing some part in releasing chlorine from CFCs as well as the more accepted idea of heterogeneous chemistry on polar
stratospheric particles?
It is encouraging that the global mean climate sensitivity parameter for cases involving lower
stratospheric O3 changes and that for CO2 changes (viz., doubling) are reasonably similar in Christiansen (1999) while being within about 25 % of a central value in Hansen et al. (1997a).
More ozone above the tropopause causes
more stratospheric warming, forcing the tropopause down, which pushes the climate zones away from the equator.
We find no relation
between stratospheric water vapor and error in the dynamics by which surface temperature adjusts to long - and short - run determinants, or the simulation errors generated by the full statistical model.
«This is one study where I am not eager to have our predictions proven right by a
global stratospheric aerosol layer in the real world.»
First popularized by «PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds,» then catapulted into
stratospheric success by «Fortnite: Battle Royale,» the genre has exploded in popularity as of late.
Using credit cards is a fact of life for many of us, but the days of leveraging ourselves
into stratospheric levels of debt are long gone.
