The Effect of Global Warming on the Atmospheric Lifetime of Odd Oxygen

Abstract

Data on the effect of global warming on the atmospheric lifetime of odd oxygen, Ox. The results obtained characterize the effect at latitude 50°C. in the altitude range of 15–55 km in January–June 2000–2100s, the data for calculations were obtained using the interactive radiation-chemical two-dimensional SOCRATES model, with which the total rate of Ox death in the Ox, HOx, NOx, ClOx and BrOx catalytic cycles, as well as the concentration of Ox equal to the sum of the concentrations of O3, O(3P) and O(1D) for the above conditions, which are necessary for calculating the lifetime of Ox, were preliminarily calculated. Scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were used as initial conditions for calculations using the SOCRATES model RCP 4.5 and RCP 6.0 for the above conditions.
