Scientists Discover How Events in Space Effect Climate on EarthFollow this link to WashingtonBlog and read the post. There are several key points emphasized—let's research and expand these points.
-
NOx and Ozone
Over the last decade there have been dramatic reductions in NOx concentrations across North America and Europe. At many locations there are reports of decreases in organic emissions but changes to the total organic reactivity. -
Intense Solar Activity can Destroy Ozone and Affect Climatic Temperatures
As ozone absorbs electromagnetic radiation, changes in ozone concentrations alter Earth's radiative balance by modifying both incoming solar radiation and outgoing radiation. In this way, ozone controls solar energy deposition in the stratosphere and its variations alter the thermal structure of the stratosphere. These changes are assumed to propagate downward through a chain of feedbacks involving thermal and dynamical processes.
