摘要

Despite the recently reported beginning of a recovery in global stratospheric ozone ( Osub3/sub ), an unexpected Osub3/sub decline in the tropical mid-stratosphere (around 30–35?km altitude) was observed in satellite measurements during the first decade of the 21st century. We use SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) measurements for the period 2004–2012 to confirm the significant Osub3/sub decline. The SCIAMACHY observations show that the decrease in Osub3/sub is accompanied by an increase in NOsub2/sub . To reveal the causes of these observed Osub3/sub and NOsub2/sub changes, we performed simulations with the TOMCAT 3-D chemistry-transport model (CTM) using different chemical and dynamical forcings. For the 2004–2012 time period, the TOMCAT simulations reproduce the SCIAMACHY-observed Osub3/sub decrease and NOsub2/sub increase in the tropical mid-stratosphere. The simulations suggest that the positive changes in NOsub2/sub (around 7?%?decade sup?1/sup ) are due to similar positive changes in reactive odd nitrogen ( NOsuby/sub ), which are a result of a longer residence time of the source gas Nsub2/subO and increased production via Nsub2/subO +?O( sup1/sup D). The model simulations show a negative change of 10?%?decade sup?1/sup in Nsub2/subO that is most likely due to variations in the deep branch of the Brewer–Dobson Circulation (BDC). Interestingly, modelled annual mean “age of air” (AoA) does not show any significant changes in transport in the tropical mid-stratosphere during 2004–2012. However, further analysis of model results demonstrates significant seasonal variations. During the autumn months (September–October) there are positive AoA changes that imply transport slowdown and a longer residence time of Nsub2/subO allowing for more conversion to NOsuby/sub , which enhances Osub3/sub loss. During winter months (January–February) there are negative AoA changes, indicating faster Nsub2/subO transport and less NOsuby/sub production. Although the variations in AoA over a year result in a statistically insignificant linear change, non-linearities in the chemistry–transport interactions lead to a statistically significant negative Nsub2/subO change.
