Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of atmospheric science and technology, specifically relating to a method for analyzing the long-term response of Antarctic stratospheric ozone to the deposition of high-energy particles. Background Technology

[0002] Stratospheric ozone absorbs and blocks ultraviolet radiation from the sun, playing a crucial role in protecting life on Earth from UV damage and maintaining the Earth's energy balance. The discovery of the "Antarctic ozone hole" has brought it into the global spotlight. In recent years, extreme space weather events have occurred frequently, and high-energy particle precipitation, as an important manifestation of these events, has significantly impacted Antarctic stratospheric ozone and weather and climate. High-energy particles, under the interaction of the solar wind and the magnetosphere, precipitate along open magnetic field lines into the polar middle and upper atmosphere. These high-energy particles ionize atoms and molecules in the polar mesosphere-thermosphere (MLT), generating nitrogen oxides (NOx). ); In the polar night environment of Antarctica during winter, Photochemical reactions are limited, and the material is stored in the MLT region for several months, transported via the polar vortex. Entering the stratosphere, high-energy particles catalyze the dissipation of stratospheric ozone. During special space weather events, high-energy particle deposition can have a significant short- to medium-term impact on Antarctic stratospheric ozone. However, there is a lack of description of high-energy particle deposition on a climate timescale and a lack of quantitative analysis of its impact on stratospheric ozone.
