Isotopic composition of stratospheric ozone
Using recently measured rates for isotopic variants of the ozone formation reaction , we derive expressions for the enrichment of symmetric and asymmetric and in stratospheric ozone and calculate total enrichments of 123‰ and 107‰ for and , respectively. We compare the calculations with measurements made with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory far-infrared spectrometer during seven ballo...
متن کاملIsotopic composition of stratospheric water vapor: Measurements and photochemistry
We present a photochemical model describing the changes in the isotopic composition of stratospheric water vapor that result from methane oxidation and reactions with O( ). We then compare model calculations with measurements made with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory far-infrared spectrometer during seven balloon flights that took place between 1989 and 1997. The agreement between the...
متن کاملIsotopic composition of stratospheric water vapor: Implications for transport
We develop a series of models of transport in the upper tropical troposphere in order to explain the observed abundance and isotopic composition of stratospheric water vapor. We start with the Rayleigh fractionation process and add the effects of mixing and recirculation of stratospheric air through the upper troposphere. We compare our measurements with model calculations for a range of input ...
متن کاملStratospheric ozone and health.
BACKGROUND Stratospheric ozone is being depleted and ambient ultraviolet (UV) irradiance is probably increasing. While remedial steps have been taken through the Montreal protocols, at best it will take some 90 years for stratospheric ozone concentrations to return to the levels existing in the 1970s. METHODS The evidence that these changes may have harmful effects on health has been reviewed...
متن کاملStratospheric Ozone Depletion
There is now strong evidence that a consequence of human activities is the inadvertent accumulation of a variety of trace gases in the earth’s atmosphere. In the past decade, these global-scale changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere have led to a very significant depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer over Antarctica in the southern spring months and also at northern latitude...
