Scientists concerned with the processes occurring in the
stratosphere are becoming more and more aware of the role that the
stratosphere may play in the global climate and in global change in
general. This book focuses on the basic processes taking place in
the stratosphere and on the stratospheric changes which may occur
from either natural or anthropogenic forcing. Of major concern here
is the consequence of the increasing Antarctic Ozone Hole and the
possibility of similar processes occurring at northern latitudes.
One of the expected consequences of the change in the stratospheric
composition, mainly ozone depletion, is the change in the
penetration of UV-B in the troposphere, at the surface, and in the
top layers of the ocean. Monitoring and modeling of those changes
are still in infancy, even though the implications may be of utmost
importance for the entire biosphere. Several aspects of these
consequences with regard to aquatic ecosystems, terrestrial
vegetation and human health are presented by experts in these
fields.
