Ozone History

Want to know a little about the history of stratospheric ozone research? This link provides a copy of a paper I prepared for a presentation at the International Ozone Symposium 200th Anniversary of Christian Friedrich Schönbein, The Discoverer of Ozone, held in Basel, Switzerland on 21 and 22 October 1999. The paper has now been published in Ozone Science & Engineering, Vol. 23, pp. 421-428, 2001, published by the International Ozone Association.

Ozone Trend References

I have compiled a list of references on ozone trends. These include the papers that I have in my files. If you know of any more references please let me know via e-mail. The references include ozone trend papers and related papers on the dependence of ozone on other variables.

Merged Ozone Data

Want to know about issues related to the relative calibration of various satellite total ozone sensors? See our Merged Ozone Data page.

GEOS Chemistry/Climate Project

We are now developing a coupled chemistry-climate model (GEOS CCM). This project is a collaboration of the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch (Anne Douglass, Luke Oman, Randy Kawa, Paul Newman, Qing Liang, Feng Li, Valentina Aquila, Stacey Frith, and myself), the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (Steven Pawson, J. Eric Nielsen), Johns Hopkins University (Darryn Waugh) and the University of Colorado (Judith Perlwitz). The first version of the model combined the GEOS 4 GCM with the stratospheric chemistry from the Goddard CTM. The second version combines GEOS 5 with the stratospheric chemistry. The third version, now under development, combines GEOS 5 with the combined stratosphere-troposphere chemistry (Combo) developed by the Global Modeling Initiative . This effort is complemented by independently funded research projects by Bryan Duncan, Pete Colarco, Ken Pickering, Mian Chin, Huisheng Bian, and Dale Allen.
