| Guidelines |
| Major objectives:
- description of principal characteristics of the stratosphere, related dynamics and underlying dynamical processes - analysis of the solar influence and impact of the variability in the solar radiation - investigation of the stratosphere coupling with the troposphere and mesosphere - adaptation and utilization of a GCM with included stratospheric region (e.g.: the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM); a comprehensive numerical model, spanning the range of altitude from the Earth's surface to the thermosphere http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/working_groups/WACCM/) - investigation of recent and potential future changes in the stratosphere with focus on Brewer-Dobson circulation changes and their implications for stratospheric dynamics - analysis of recent and potential future changes in the stratosphere in connection with increasing greenhouse gases concentration in the troposphere |
