| Zusammenfassung |
| The chemistry-climate model (CCM) SOCOL has been used to evaluate the
contributions of the main anthropogenic factors to the simulated changes of
ozone and stratospheric dynamics during the 21st century. As the main
anthropogenic factors we consider the atmospheric concentration of the
greenhouse gases (GHG), ozone depleting substances (ODS) and sea surface
temperature and sea ice (SST/SI). The latter is considered here as an
independent factor because the majority of the CCMs prescribe its evolution.
We have performed three sets of "time slice" numerical experiments for the
years 2000, 2050, and 2100 taking into account all factors separately and
all together. The total column ozone increase during the first half of the
21st century is caused by the ODS, especially in the middle and high
latitudes of both hemispheres. In the tropics and the extra tropical region
of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) the SST/SI forcing plays a very important
role in the evolution of atmospheric ozone during the second half of the
21st century. The GHG affect the temperature and ozone mainly in the
upper stratosphere and in the lower stratosphere of the high latitudes of
the Southern Hemisphere (SH). In the lower tropical stratosphere of the NH,
the long-term changes of the temperature, zonal wind and the meridional
circulation are controlled mainly by the SST/SI. The strong contribution of
the SST/SI to the ozone and circulation changes in the future implies that
some differences between the results by different CCMs could be caused by
the applied SST/SI rather than by the CCM's deficiencies. We suggest taking
this issue into account for the planning of the future model evaluation
campaigns. |
