Changing atmospheric chemistry: causes and consequences for environment and climate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 July 2009
Abstract
Atmospheric ozone plays a critical role in controlling ultraviolet radiation levels at the surface of the Earth. The absorption of ultraviolet radiation from the sun and the warm infrared from the earth influence temperatures in the lower stratosphere. The concentration of ozone is affected by NO, NO2, Cl, and Clo in a complex manner.
