Coupling Processes Between Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

This is the final report for NAS5-97039 for work performed between December 1996 and November 1999. The overall objective of this project is to improve the understanding of coupling processes among atmospheric chemistry, aerosol and climate, all important for quantitative assessments of global change. Among our priority are changes in ozone and stratospheric sulfate aerosol, with emphasis on how ozone in the lower stratosphere would respond to natural or anthropogenic changes. The work emphasizes two important aspects: (1) AER's continued participation in preparation of, and providing scientific input for, various scientific reports connected with assessment of stratospheric ozone and climate. These include participation in various model intercomparison exercises as well as preparation of national and international reports. (2) Continued development of the AER three-wave interactive model to address how the transport circulation will change as ozone and the thermal properties of the atmosphere change, and assess how these new findings will affect our confidence in the ozone assessment results.Ko, Malcolm and Weisenstein, Debra and Rodriquez, Jose and Danilin, Michael and Scott, Courtney and Shia, Run-Lie and Eluszkiewicz, Janusz and Sze, Nien-Dak and Stewart, Richard W.
