The influence of nitrogen oxides on the atmospheric ozone content
TLDR
In this paper, the probable importance of NO and NO2 in controlling the ozone concentrations and production rates in the stratosphere is pointed out and some processes which may lead to production of nitric acid are discussed.Abstract:
The probable importance of NO and NO2 in controlling the ozone concentrations and production rates in the stratosphere is pointed out. Observations on and determinations of nitric acid concentrations in the stratosphere by Murcray et al. (1968) and Rhine et al. (1969) support the high NO and NO2 concentrations indicated by Bates/Hays (1967). Some processes which may lead to production of nitric acid are discussed. The importance of O (1S), possibly produced in the ozone photolysis below 2340 A, on the ozone photochemistry is mentioned.read more

Nitrous Oxide (N2O): The Dominant Ozone-Depleting Substance Emitted in the 21st Century
TL;DR: In this paper, the ozone depletion potential-weighted anthropogenic emissions of N2O with those of other ozone-depleting substances were compared, and it was shown that N 2O emission currently is the single most important ozone-destroying emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century.

Nitrous oxide (N_2O) : the dominanat ozone-depleting substance emitted in the 21st century
TL;DR: Nitrous oxide emission currently is the single most important ozone-depleting emission and is expected to remain the largest throughout the 21st century, and N2O is unregulated by the Montreal Protocol, which would enhance the recovery of the ozone layer from its depleted state and reduce the anthropogenic forcing of the climate system.

Stratospheric ozone depletion: A review of concepts and history
TL;DR: A brief history of the science of ozone depletion and a conceptual framework to explain the key processes involved, with a focus on chemistry is described in this article, and observations of ozone and of chlorine-related trace gases near 40 km provide evidence that gas phase chemistry has indeed currently depleted about 10% of the stratospheric ozone there as predicted, and the vertical and horizontal struc- tures of this depletion are fingerprints for that process.

Soil microorganisms as controllers of atmospheric trace gases (H2, CO, CH4, OCS, N2O, and NO).
TL;DR: It is completely unclear how important microbial diversity is for the control of trace gas flux at the ecosystem level, and different microbial communities may be part of the reason for differences in trace gas metabolism, e.g., effects of nitrogen fertilizers on CH4 uptake by soil; decrease of CH4 production with decreasing temperature.

The solar constant
TL;DR: In this paper, the value of the solar constant indicated by 30 years of observation by the Smithsonian Institution is revised in the light of the scale correction announced in 1952 and new solar spectral-irradiance data for outside the earth's atmosphere obtained by the Naval Research Laboratory.

Photochemistry of ozone in a moist atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed investigation has been made into the photochemistry of ozone in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, and it is shown that for such an atmosphere a satisfactory ozone profile can be obtained, unlike the situation now existing for an oxygen only atmosphere.
