| Zusammenfassung |
| Vertical and latitudinal changes in the stratospheric ozone in the
post-chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) era are investigated using simulations of the
recent past and the 21st century with a coupled chemistry-climate model.
Model results reveal that, in the 2060s when the stratospheric halogen
loading is projected to return to its 1980 values, the extratropical column
ozone is significantly higher than that in 1975–1984, but the tropical
column ozone does not recover to 1980 values. Upper and lower stratospheric
ozone changes in the post-CFC era have very different patterns. Above 15 hPa
ozone increases almost latitudinally uniformly by 6 Dobson Unit (DU),
whereas below 15 hPa ozone decreases in the tropics by 8 DU and increases in
the extratropics by up to 16 DU. The upper stratospheric ozone increase is a
photochemical response to greenhouse gas induced strong cooling, and the
lower stratospheric ozone changes are consistent with enhanced mean
advective transport due to a stronger Brewer-Dobson circulation. The model
results suggest that the strengthening of the Brewer-Dobson circulation
plays a crucial role in ozone recovery and ozone distributions in the
post-CFC era. |
