TLDR
In this paper, the three basic elements of stratospheric science-laboratory measurements, atmospheric observations, and theoretical studies are presented along with an attempt to predict, with reasonable confidence, the effect on ozone of particular anthropogenic sources of pollution.Abstract:
The present status of stratospheric science is discussed.

Tropospheric chemistry: A global perspective
TL;DR: A model for the photochemistry of the global troposphere constrained by observed concentrations of H2O, O3, CO, CH4, NO, NO2, and HNO3 is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trace gas trends and their potential role in climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a characterization of the trace gases, taking into account the observed abundances, known sources, and sinks in the present-day atmosphere, and their potentials for climate changes.

Evaluated Kinetic and Photochemical Data for Atmospheric Chemistry: Supplement I CODATA Task Group on Chemical Kinetics
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical evaluation of the kinetics and photochemistry of gas phase chemical reactions of neutral species involved in middle atmosphere chemistry (10-55 km altitude) was carried out under the auspices of the CODATA Task Group on Chemical Kinetics.

An operational objective analysis system
TL;DR: The system of objective weather map analysis used at the Joint Numerical Weather Prediction Unit is described in this article, which is an integral part of the automatic data processing system, and is designed to operate with a minimum of manual supervision.

Propagation of planetary‐scale disturbances from the lower into the upper atmosphere
J. G. Charney,P. G. Drazin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility that a significant part of the energy of the planetary-wave disturbances of the troposphere may propagate into the upper atmosphere and found that the effective index of refraction for the planetary waves depends primarily on the distribution of the mean zonal wind with height.

Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Given Distribution of Relative Humidity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the surface equilibrium temperature of the atmosphere with a given distribution of relative humidity is almost twice as sensitive to change of various factors such as solar constant, CO2 content, O3 content, and cloudiness than that of the one with a fixed relative humidity.

A parameterization for the absorption of solar radiation in the earth's atmosphere
Andrew A. Lacis,James Hansen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method is described for rapidly computing the amount of solar energy absorbed at the earth's surface and in the atmosphere as a function of altitude, which is a parametric treatment, but the form of the solution and coefficients involved are based on accurate multiple-scattering computations.
