Atmospheric Ozone: Possible Impact of Stratospheric Aviation

摘要: Abstract Models for stratosphere temperature and ozone are developed shown to give good agreement with observational data. The atmosphere is in local radiative equilibrium at heights above about 35 km, concentrations of 28 km can be satisfactorily estimated by models assuming photochemical equilibrium. Nitric oxide, formed decomposition nitrous oxide ammonia, an important catalyst recombination odd oxygen below 50 responsible a reduction, factor 2, the computed column density ozone. Possible consequences nitric water vapor, exhausted aircraft, discussed. It argued that there should significant reduction concentration stratospheric ozone, related decrease temperature, if globally averaged aircraft source exceeds 2 × 107 molecules cm−2 sec−1, approximately half natural oxide. An increase s...
