Stratospheric lifetimes of CFC-12, CCl4, CH4, CH3Cl and N2 from measurements made by the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment-Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS)
Long lived halogen-containing compounds are important atmospheric constituents since they can act both as a source of chlorine radicals, which go on to catalyse ozone loss, and as powerful greenhouse gases. The long-term impact of these species on the ozone layer is dependent on their stratospheric lifetimes. Using observations from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectro...
متن کاملSpectral fingerprints of Earth-like planets around FGK stars.
We present model atmospheres for an Earth-like planet orbiting the entire grid of main sequence FGK stars with effective temperatures ranging from Teff=4250 K to Teff=7000 K in 250 K intervals. We have modeled the remotely detectable spectra of Earth-like planets for clear and cloudy atmospheres at the 1 AU equivalent distance from the VIS to IR (0.4 to 20 μm) to compare detectability of featur...
متن کاملStratospheric Loss and Atmospheric Lifetimes of CFC-11 and CFC-12 Derived From Satellite Observations
The lifetimes of CFC-11 and CFC-12 have been evaluated using global observations of their stratospheric distributions from satellite-based instruments over the time period from 1992 to 2010. The chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) datasets are from the Cryogen Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES), the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere (CRISTA-1 and CRISTA2), the Michelso...
متن کاملValidation of Mipas-envisat Ch4, N2o, Cfc-11 and Cfc-12 by Airborne in Situ Observations
Airborne in situ measurements of the trace gases CH4, N2O, CFC-11 and CFC-12 with the High Altitude Gas AnalyzeR (HAGAR) on board the M55 Geophysica aircraft and the balloon-borne cryosampler BONBON of the University of Frankfurt are compared to vertical profiles from MIPAS-ENVISAT. We validate ESA level-2 standard products (v. 4.61) and non-operational trace gas profiles of CH4, N2O, CFC-11 an...
متن کاملChanges in reactive stratospheric gases due to a change in BrewerDobson circulation: results from a simple model
Amounts of source gases with stratospheric sinks (CFCs, N2O, CH4) are affected by changes in Brewer–Dobson circulation. Source gases and their degradation products are important for atmospheric chemistry and climate. With a simple model, we examine how amounts and lifetimes of source gases and products depend on speed of the circulation. Transient results differ from steady-state and stratosphe...
