Towards understanding the interaction between ozone and the circulation in the stratosphere
dissertation Ozone is a key constituent of the stratosphere. The shortwave heating by ozone influences the stratospheric circulation, and the circulation, in turn, influences the distribution of ozone. This creates the potential for an interesting interaction between ozone and the circulation, which...

dissertation Ozone is a key constituent of the stratosphere. The shortwave heating by ozone influences the stratospheric circulation, and the circulation, in turn, influences the distribution of ozone.

Here, we use observations and modeling to study the ozone-circulation interaction and the role of it for extreme stratospheric circulation events. We find that extreme stratospheric circulation events create significant and long-lasting perturbations in ozone over both the Arctic and the tropics.
