OZONE DEPLETION, GREENHOUSE GASES, AND CLIMATE CHANGE

These are the Proceedings of a Joint Symposium by the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate and the Committee on Global Change, Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Resources, National Research Council. The symposium was held at the National Academy of Sciences on March 23, 1988, where a distinguished group of 10 experts addressed the important issues of stratospheric ozone depletion, possible linkages to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, and their combined effect in causing global climate change to occur. The following presentations are included: Global Change and the Changing Atmosphere, WC Clark; Stratospheric Ozone Depletion: Global Processes, DL Albritton; Stratospheric Ozone Depletion: Antarctic Processes, RT Watson; The Role of Halocarbons in Stratospheric Ozone Depletion, FS Rowland; Heterogeneous Chemical Processes in Ozone Depletion, MJ Molina; Free Radicals in the Earth's Atmosphere: Measurement and Interpretation, JG Anderson; Theoretical Projections of Stratospheric Change Due to Increasing Greenhouse Gases and Changing Ozone Concentrations, JD Mahlman; Historical Trends in Atmospheric Methane Concentration and the Temperature Sensitivity of Methane Outgasing from Boreal and Polar Regions, RC Harriss; Global Temperature Trends, KE Trenberth; and Use of Numerical Models to Project Greenhouse Gas-Induced Warming in Polar Regions (The Conceptual Basis Developed over the Last Twenty Years), RE Dickinson.
