Multidecadal global cooling and unprecedented ozone loss following a regional nuclear conflict
We present the first study of the global impacts of a regional nuclear war with an Earth system model including atmospheric chemistry, ocean dynamics, and interactive sea ice and land components. A limited, regional nuclear war between India and Pakistan in which each side detonates 50 15 kt weapons could produce about 5 Tg of black carbon (BC). This would self-loft to the stratosphere, where i...
متن کاملMassive global ozone loss predicted following regional nuclear conflict.
We use a chemistry-climate model and new estimates of smoke produced by fires in contemporary cities to calculate the impact on stratospheric ozone of a regional nuclear war between developing nuclear states involving 100 Hiroshima-size bombs exploded in cities in the northern subtropics. We find column ozone losses in excess of 20% globally, 25-45% at midlatitudes, and 50-70% at northern high ...

متن کاملRoles of transport and chemistry processes in global ozone change on interannual and multidecadal time scales
This study investigates ozone changes and the individual impacts of transport and chemistry on those changes. We specifically examine (1) variation related to El Niño Southern Oscillation, which is a dominant mode of interannual variation of tropospheric ozone, and (2) long-term change between the 2000s and 2100s. During El Niño, the simulated ozone shows an increase (1 ppbv/K) over Indonesia, ...
متن کاملAntarctic Cooling and Ozone Losses
The fabrication of single-walled carbon nanotubes is still somewhat of an art form, and processes that either create the nanotubes at a much faster rate or of much greater length or purity is still needed. Zhu et al. (p. 884) use an improved floating catalyst method to create centimeterlong single-walled nanotube ropes that are significantly longer than those obtained from either chemical vapor...
