Atmospheric Ozone and Climate
Atmospheric Ozone and Climate is a research topic within Atmospheric Science. Science Explorer counts 64k research works in it since 1950. 23.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the study of stratospheric chemistry, with a particular emphasis on the impacts of ozone depletion, changes in stratospheric water vapor, and the influence of the Brewer-Dobson circulation on climate. It also covers the role of remote sensing instruments and chemical transport models in understanding atmospheric composition and climate impact. The cluster highlights the significance of the Montreal Protocol in protecting the ozone layer and addresses the influence of solar cycle variations on stratospheric chemistry.
