Abstract
Model simulation of the 'ozone hole' observed in Austral springtime indicates that the ozone depletion leads to a temperature decrease in the lower Antarctic stratosphere of ∼5 K in mid-October. The temporal evolution of the thermal balance in the control shows that weak upward motion occurs by mid-September and shows the temperature tendency is dominated by the net radiative heating through late September to November. When the ozone hole is imposed, downward motion persists through September to mid-October and the final warming in November is postponed.
