Trends in stratospheric ozone derived from merged SAGE II and Odin-OSIRIS satellite observations

4 Lower stratospheric ozone loss during cold winters As described in the introduction (Sect. 1), the ozone loss in the polar lower stratosphere can be explained, to a large extent,

ozone loss reaches 40–60 % and in the upper stratosphere where both models show 70 % ozone decrease (see Fig. In the polar areas of the lower stratosphere we obtain 70–80 %

Despite the short time period of available IASI dataset used in this study (2008–2013) and the potential ambiguity between the solar and the linear trend terms,

Due to the reduced photolysis rates in the troposphere associated with the strato- sphere ozone recovery, the global tropospheric ozone burden is calculated to

We will only show HALOE trend calculations where a solar cycle term has been included, but we have compared trends with and without the solar cycle term and found that the results

shown that at the end of the 21st century, stratospheric column ozone decreases lin- early with increasing surface N 2 O concentrations in all regions of the

The impact and significance of uncertainties in model calculations of stratospheric ozone loss resulting from known uncertainty in chemical kinetics parameters is evalu- ated

The goal of this paper is twofold: to demonstrate the feasibility of merging the SAGE II and OSIRIS ozone measurements into a single time series through comparative analysis of the
