Variability of the total ozone trend over Europe for the period 1950–2004 derived from reconstructed data
Abstract. The total ozone data over Europe are available for only few ground-based stations in the pre-satellite era disallowing examination of the spatial trend variability over the whole continent. A need of having gridded ozone data for a trend analysis and input to radiative transfer models stimulated a reconstruction of the daily ozone values since January 1950. Description of the reconstr...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “ Variability of the total ozone trend over Europe for the period 1950 – 2004 derived from reconstructed data
’UV radiation, and lack of long-term UV-times series, is used more or less as a justification for this paper. However, the authors should be/are aware of the fact that trends in ozone do not directly translate to trends in UV or UV-related effects, as the UV burden puts a far more larger weight to the warm/summer period. Hence, an unequal weighting of ozone values is intrinsic when it comes to ...
متن کاملNorth Atlantic Oscillation modulates Total Ozone Winter Trends
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is modulating the Earth’s ozone shield such that the calculated anthropogenic total ozone decrease is enhanced over Europe whereas over the North Atlantic region it is reduced (for the last 30 years). Including the NAO in a statistical model suggests a more uniform chemical winter trend compared to the strong longitudinal variation reported earlier. At Arosa...
متن کاملEvidence of a possible turning point in solar UV-B over Canada, Europe and Japan
This study examines the long-term variability of UV solar irradiances at 305 nm and 325 nm over selected sites in Canada, Europe and Japan. Site selection was restricted to the availability of the most complete UV spectroradiometric datasets during the period 1990–2011. The analysis includes the long-term variability of total ozone, aerosol optical depth and cloud fraction at the sites studied....
متن کاملReconstruction of Northern Hemisphere 1950–2010 atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons
The short-chain non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) are mostly emitted into the atmosphere by anthropogenic processes. Recent studies have pointed out a tight linkage between the atmospheric mole fractions of the NMHC ethane and the atmospheric growth rate of methane. Consequently, atmospheric NMHC are valuable indicators for tracking changes in anthropogenic emissions, photochemical ozone producti...
