Abstract

Data on the effect of global warming on the ozone layer and the intensity of near-surface near-noon UVB radiation in 2100 compared to the year 2000 are presented. Changes in the ozone layer are calculated at a latitude of 50° N for January and June of 2100 when compared with 2000 using the one-dimensional photochemical model, as well as the SOCRATES interactive two-dimensional photochemical model, using greenhouse gas concentrations given in the scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) RCP 4.5 and PCP 6.0. Surface UVB radiation fluxes for the above conditions are calculated using a program developed at the Norwegian Institute for Atmospheric Research in 2005 (by Ola Engelsen).
